The Department of Aerospace Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis option) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Major areas of study include fluid dynamics; structural mechanics; flight mechanics and controls; flight test engineering; and design optimization. The Raspet Flight Research Laboratory, a unique university facility for graduate aeronautical teaching and research, is operated as an integral part of the department. Other department facilities consist of: a low speed wind tunnel; a water tunnel; a blow-down supersonic wind tunnel; and a universal testing machine laboratory. Members of the faculty provide primary leadership in computational simulation and numerical grid generation.

Entry Requirements

To be admitted to the Master’s program in Aerospace Engineering, the applicant must hold an undergraduate engineering degree from a University accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), or must take the General GRE (Graduate Record Examination) test. The applicant must have maintained a minimum 3.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale in his/her undergraduate courses.

International students wishing to be admitted must have a minimum TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score of 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based).
