We're home to the second-oldest aerospace engineering program in the country with well-established ties to the aerospace industry locally and nationally.
Modern aerospace systems become increasingly intricate as technology advances. Successful, safe, and sustainable aerospace engineering requires coordination of many interrelated processes and systems.
By encompassing the areas of aeronautics and astronautics, the aerospace engineering program at UC prepares you to analyze, design and implement aerospace systems to become the next generation of explorers. You'll build a foundation in the contemporary aerospace engineering principles required to innovate in a variety of fields and learn to design and develop flight vehicles and aerospace systems like avionics, propulsion, remote sensing and autonomous navigation.
Course work includes the analysis and design of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, rockets and satellites. Students engage in hands-on training in the fields of fluid mechanics, propulsion, structures, controls and electronics. Computer skills are increasingly vital in the aerospace industry, so students also take courses in computer-aided design, structural analysis and simulation studies.

At the College of Engineering and Applied Science, students can enrich their experience with dozens of student organizations on campus. One of these organizations, CubeCats, provides the unique opportunity to design, build, and operate flightworthy aerospace systems like CubeSats and High-Altitude Balloons (HAB). With their most recent HAB launch, “Project Floppa,” the group reached new heights.
