The School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the oldest – and largest – educational programs of its kind in the country. The Institute had been asked to instruct U.S. Army personnel in aviation matters as early as 1917. A stand-alone department was formed in 1930 after receiving the seventh – and last – grant from the Daniel Guggenheim fund. Known then as the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, its name was officially changed to the School of Aerospace Engineering on July 1, 1962.

At the masters level, our graduates reach a level of expertise in one or more of the specialties important to advanced aerospace system design, development, manufacture, maintenance, and/or operation that allows industry and/or government employers to assign them responsibilities in those specialties. Those who complete our doctoral programs possess the abilities needed to perform original research that fundamentally advances the state of the art in some important aspect of aerospace engineering.

The School of Aerospace Engineering is very active and productive in aerospace engineering research in all of the essential disciplines listed above, so that the abilities of faculty in the classroom continuously reflect the rapid advances in technologies and methodologies characteristic of the field of aerospace engineering. Sponsors of funded research in the School – contract totals of which are more than $30 million, year after year – include NASA; the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Army; the FAA; the NSF; and a broad “Who’s Who” of aerospace companies.

Entry Requirements

- Evidence of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent (prior to matriculation) from a recognized institution

- Graduation in the upper half of your class

- Evidence of preparation in your chosen field sufficient to ensure profitable graduate study

- Satisfactory scores on the GRE

- Satisfactory scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for international applicants

The Bachelor of Aviation Technology is designed for those seeking a career in aviation, aerospace and information technology (IT) and attracts many students seeking positions within the aviation industry. The program will enable you to develop a thorough understanding of both theories and practices in aviation technology and explore the associated ethical, legal and security issues in this field.

Throughout the program you will study courses including aviation theory and cover topics such as aerodynamics, aircraft systems, air law, meteorology, navigation, pilot licences and ratings, air service operations, aerodromes, airspace classifi cations, air traffic control and flight service and handling emergencies. You will also develop sound knowledge in mapping techniques, aviation time, charts and publications, navigation computations, pilot navigation and radio navigation, the composition of the atmosphere, heat, temperature, pressure and humidity, atmospheric stability, clouds and precipitation and many other areas.

In addition to aviation administration you will study topics such as the aviation engine, turbo and supercharging, propeller systems, hydraulics, electrical and ignition, fuel and carburetion, flight instrumentation, lift and drag, aerial manoeuvres, stability and control, takeoff and landing, as well as flying techniques.

The second and third year of the program will build on the foundation of aviation technology and enable you to gain high-level expertise in both IT and business management. You will develop the skills you need to analyse problems critically and design effective solutions. Graduates are employed in non-fl ying positions within the aviation industry at both operational and management levels.

You may wish to exit the bachelor degree early and upon successful completion of a number of courses may be eligible to receive a Diploma of Aviation Theory qualification.

Systems engineering applies to everything from large power plants to computer hardware and software. It’s a big-picture view that considers every aspect of a project, from costs and environmental impact, to time lines and life expectancy of equipment. Because it encompasses many disciplines, it can help engineers from diverse fields better understand how to solve problems.

Penn State’s Online Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering
The systems engineering program is an interdisciplinary master's degree that covers identification, modeling, analysis, architecture, integration, and management of complex systems and processes. It consists of 12 courses (36 credits) taken over six continuous semesters, with each semester containing two 7-week terms.

Entry Requirements

For admission to the Graduate School, an applicant must hold either (1) a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or (2) a tertiary (postsecondary) degree that is deemed comparable to a four-year bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution. This degree must be from an officially recognized degree-granting institution in the country in which it operates.

The program contains a number of courses requiring a solid background in mathematics, typically found in an undergraduate program in engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, or computer science, with at least two semesters of calculus. Students with other undergraduate majors with a strong background in mathematics may apply.

All applicants are expected to have earned a junior/senior grade point average of 3.0 or higher.

International applicants
---------------------------------

All international applicants must take and submit scores for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), with the exceptions noted below. The minimum acceptable score for the TOEFL is 550 for the paper-based test, or a total score of 80 with a 19 on the speaking section for the internet-based test (iBT). Applicants with iBT speaking scores between 15 and 18 may be considered for provisional admission, which requires completion of specified remedial English courses ESL 114G (American Oral English for Academic Purposes) and/or ESL 116G (ESL/Composition for Academic Disciplines) and attainment of a grade of B or higher. The minimum acceptable composite score for the IELTS is 6.5. Graduate programs may have more stringent requirements.
