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 Aerospace Engineering undergraduate program is
accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,
https://www.abet.org, under the commission's General Criteria and Program
Criteria for Aerospace Engineering.
