Four-Year Undergraduate Curriculum



Four-Year Curriculum Code 021

The aerospace engineering curriculum provides a broad and multidisciplinary education in the fundamentals of aircraft and spacecraft design. An energy systems concentration is available with careful planning of the coursework. The degree awarded upon completion of any of these options is the B.S. in aerospace engineering which is professionally accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
