Auburn University offers a modern aeropace engineering program administered by
a faculty with extensive experience in teaching, research, and industry. The first
two years of the program are devoted to developing a solid foundation in mathematics,
physics, chemistry, and the basic engineering sciences. Computer programming is
introduced early so that students may use this valuable engineering tool in subsequent
courses.
In the third year, the fundamental concepts learned earlier are applied to the study of practical problems in aerodynamics, aerospace structures and materials, performance, and aerospace dynamics. Fourth-year studies include aerospace vehicle stability and control, astrodynamics, propulsion and vibration. Fourth-year students also undertake a major design sequence involving the preliminary design of an aerospace vehicle or major vehicle component.
These courses introduce you to the entire field of aerospace engineering. You may obtain additional specialized training in aerodynamics, astrodynamics, flight dynamics, structures, or propulsion by a proper choice of technical electives.
