MS Aerospace Engineering
Propel Innovation. Design the Future of Flight.
Aerospace Engineering, often considered a subdiscipline of Mechanical Engineering, is a highly specialized field that focuses on the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. The field itself can further be categorized into aeronautical engineering, which deals with vehicles that operate within the Earth’s atmosphere, and astronautical engineering, which focuses on vehicles that operate outside Earth’s atmosphere.
Over the course of academic programs and career thereafter, aerospace engineers use principles from physics, mathematics, and materials science to solve complex problems and drive innovation in propulsion, avionics, aerodynamics, and structural design while also collaborating with peers (through societies such as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, AIAA) to stay updated on the latest technological advancements and industry trends.
Career Pathways
Aircraft Design
Aircraft design engineers play a critical role in the development of new aircraft, from commercial airplanes to military jets. They are involved in various stages of design, including aerodynamics, structural integrity, materials science, and systems integration. These engineers utilize advanced simulations and testing to ensure optimal performance, safety, and fuel efficiency while adhering to strict regulatory standards.
Jet Propulsion
Jet propulsion engineers focus on the development and optimization of engines (turbofan, turbojet, turboprop) that power aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles. The work involves designing, testing, and improving the performance of jet engines, turbofan engines, and rocket propulsion systems, while also enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and increasing thrust and reliability. These engineers apply thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and material science to solve complex propulsion challenges.
Avionics
Avionics engineers specialize in the design, development, and maintenance of the electrical and electronic systems found in aircraft and spacecraft. These systems include navigation, communication, flight control, radar, and instrumentation. Avionics engineers work on ensuring that these systems function flawlessly under extreme conditions and comply with aviation safety standards. They also collaborate with software engineers to integrate control systems and ensure system reliability.
Space Systems
Space systems engineers are responsible for the design, integration, and management of spacecraft, satellites, and space exploration missions. They oversee the development of launch systems, spacecraft propulsion, thermal management, power systems, and mission-specific hardware. Space systems engineers work closely with scientists, astronauts, and other engineers to design spacecraft that can operate in the harsh conditions of space.
