本专业强调飞机和航天器的分析，设计和操作。学生学习航空，航天，空气动力学和流体动力学，航空航天材料和结构，动力学和自动控制，飞机稳定性和控制和/或轨道和姿态动力学和控制，空气呼吸和火箭推进等基础知识的理论和实践。 ，飞机系统设计和/或航天器系统设计。所有这些都非常重视团队合作和沟通技巧的开发和使用，以有效地解决问题。航空工程专业的毕业生可以在政府实验室，大型和小型航空航天公司等惯常环境中找到工作，并且在非传统岗位上也需要使用系统工程方法来解决问题，他们还可以在航空航天工程专业和相关领域。
This major emphasizes the analysis, design, and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. Students learn the theories and practices in the fundamental subjects of aeronautics, astronautics, aerodynamics and fluid dynamics, aerospace materials and structures, dynamics and automatic control, aircraft stability and control and/or orbital and attitude dynamics and control, air-breathing and rocket propulsion, aircraft systems design and /or spacecraft systems design. All of these place significant weight on the development and use of teamwork and communications skills for effective problem-solving. Graduates in aerospace engineering find employment in the customary settings such as government laboratories, large and small aerospace firms, and in nontraditional positions that also require the use of systems-engineering approaches to problem-solving, they can also pursue graduate study in aerospace engineering and related fields.<br>Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment. The field has traditionally focused on problems related to atmospheric and space flight, with two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aerospace engineers develop leading-edge technologies and integrate them into aerospace vehicle systems used for transportation, communications, exploration, and defense applications. This involves the design and manufacturing of aircraft, spacecraft, propulsion systems, satellites, and missiles, as well as the design and testing of aircraft and aerospace products, components, and subassemblies. Successful aerospace engineers possess in-depth skills in, and an understanding of, aerodynamics, materials and structures, propulsion, vehicle dynamics and control, and software.
