The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers accredited programs leading to BS degrees in Aerospace Engineering (B.S.A.S.E.). The program provides a strong background in the fundamentals of mathematics, science and engineering. Students are exposed to theory and practice, as well as hands-on laboratory work. The Aerospace Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
The educational objectives of the undergraduate Aerospace Engineering (B.S.A.S.E.) Program are to prepare graduates, within a few years after graduation, to be:
Students enrolled in BSASE are required to complete 129 course credits.
