航空航天工程和力学学士学位课程（BAEM）的任务是培养准备进入和维持航空航天工程及相关领域的实践或继续深造的毕业生。该使命与大学的学习与教学使命以及科学与工程学院的使命是一致的：为其本科专业提供严格而刺激的教育，并提供符合国家认可的工程学教学计划工程专业实践标准。航空航天工程是一个跨学科领域，涵盖了许多科学和工程领域，并且在社会技术进步中起着重要作用。作为一个不断变化的职业，航空航天工程涉及各种各样的问题和最新技术。航空工程师必须接受数学，物理科学和工程科学方面的综合基础教育。导致BAEM的四年计划提供了
The mission of the bachelor of aerospace engineering and mechanics (B.A.E.M.) program is to produce graduates who are prepared to enter and sustain the practice of aerospace engineering and related fields, or to pursue advanced studies. This mission is consistent with the mission of the University in learning and teaching, and with the mission of the College of Science and Engineering: to provide a rigorous and stimulating education for its undergraduate majors and to provide programs of instruction in engineering that meet nationally accepted standards for practice of the profession of engineering. Aerospace engineering is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses many areas of science and engineering and plays a major role in the technological advancement of society. As a constantly changing profession, aerospace engineering is concerned with a wide range of problems and the latest technologies. An aerospace engineer must have a comprehensive fundamental education in mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering sciences. The four-year program leading to the B.A.E.M. provides this broad background. The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
