一旦通过核心机械工程或工程力学课程开发了机械工程基础知识的扎实基础，学生便可以从事航空航天工程专业。该专题课程的发展和要求包括多个领域的知识和背景，包括高级动力学，飞行力学，推进，航空航天材料和结构，信号处理，控制系统，天体物理学和空间系统。
As a mechanical engineering major, youll build competence in the analysis, design, and modeling of fluid and solid systems while developing social and economic context and the communication skills necessary to excel. Our graduates are a select group of science-oriented engineers who become leaders among their peers in the best graduate programs in engineering, science, medical schools, law schools, and in industry, government laboratories, and other organizations.<br>A student may specialize in Aerospace Engineering once a solid background in the fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering has been developed through the core B.S. Mechanical Engineering or B.S. Engineering Mechanics courses. This Track develops and requires knowledge and background in several fields including advanced dynamics, flight mechanics, propulsion, aerospace materials and structures, signal processing, control systems, astrophysics and space systems.
