Aerospace Engineering
Area of Concentration

    The aerospace industry provides job opportunities each year for many mechanical engineering graduates. The aerospace engineering area of concentration is intended to provide specialty courses which focus the application of basic mechanical engineering skills on aerospace systems.

  The courses that comprise this area of concentration:
        ME 305    Introduction to Aerospace Engineering
        ME 405    Theoretical Aerodynamics
        ME 411    Propulsion Systems
        ME 425    Aerosapce Engineering Laboratory
        ME 427    Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics
        ME 461    Aerospace Design
        ME 510    Gas Dynamics
        ME 512    Light Weight Structures
        MA 305    Advanced Calculus
        PH 322    Celestial Mechanics and Solar System Physics

    Any student who completes five of these recommended courses (ME 425 not included) may recieve, upon request, a letter from the Department Head attesting to the fact that the student has completed the requirements in the aerospace engineering area of concentration in the M.E. Department. With proper planning, students should be able to take six of these course offerings without overload.
