Master of Engineering [M.Eng] [Aerospace Engineering] From Auburn University

Aerospace engineers apply their knowledge of aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics, control

and performance to a wide variety of challenges encountered with major aerospace systems.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering provides opportunities to perform research in areas such as:

? advanced aerospace systems

? experimental aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics

? non-intrusive flow diagnostics and vortex dynamics

? numerical structural analysis and experimental mechanics

? manned and unmanned aircraft flight dynamics and control

? spacecraft guidance and control

? missile design using genetic algorithms

? spacecraft orbit determination and remote sensing

? solid, liquid and hybrid rocket propulsion systems

The department?s instructional and research facilities provide hands-on experience for a practical and comprehensive education in aerospace engineering. Facilities employed in the instructional program include:

? Two large subsonic wind tunnels

? Two supersonic tunnels for Mach numbers 1.5 to 3.5

? Thirty-foot water tunnel for open channel and closed channel

experiments

? Composite materials laboratory for component construction

Life after Graduation

Aerospace engineering graduates pursue careers in research and design, as well as in government and academia. With expertise in aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, structures and structural dynamics, Auburn aerospace engineers have been closely connected to many of history?s greatest flights and the machines that carried them. The Master in Aerospace Engineering is delivered at Auburn University.
