Aerospace Engineering Program
First Graduates Expected by Spring 2029
Program Overview/Mission
UHCL's Aerospace Engineering program aims to build off the groundbreaking partnerships with aerospace industry leaders that UHCL has forged to offer students unique opportunities for entry-level employment experience. Students will engage in a wide array of space and human flight design, engineering, and operations projects, gaining highly technical work experiences before graduation that are seldom found in academia.
Students in the program will gain skills and experiences related to the design and sustained functioning of aircraft and spacecraft. As graduates, they will possess a working knowledge of aerodynamics, aerospace design, aerospace structures and materials, control system design, propulsion, incompressible fluid dynamics, solid and fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics.
Graduates of UHCL's Aerospace Engineering program will be well-equipped for a variety of positions in the aerospace sector, including aerospace engineer, architectural or engineering manager, aeronautical engineer, or GNC engineer.
