Rutgers AE

Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers
Unmanned aerial systems, airplane and space vehicle design, propulsion, ight technology, aerodynamics
and astrodynamics, aerospace materials and structures, aerospace modeling and simulations, and sensing and control of aerospace systems are all components of our aerospace engi- neering degree. The aerospace engineering program at Rutgers provides a broad and multi-disciplinary education in the fun- damentals of aircraft and spacecraft design. Rutgers is currently the only public university in New Jersey offering an aerospace engineering degree.
The aerospace degree program includes courses in space- craft mission design, propulsion, mechanical control systems, system dynamics and controls, orbital mechanics, and power plants, among others.
Proactive learning opportunities utilize classroom studying
in applications and design, leading to a nal aerospace design project in the senior year. Career prospects for aerospace engi- neers extend beyond the aeronautics eld into other industrial sectors such as advanced manufacturing, energy, and automotive.
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH AN AE DEGREE?
Design and build aircraft systems, space vehicles, and satellites
Conceptualize and model aerospace systems
Computationally analyze and proto- type aerospace systems
Manufacture aerospace sub-system components
Develop systems and structures to promote space exploration
Pursue research and development in industrial and government laboratories
“The professors give you individualized attention, and they really help you understand how the course material applies to the work you’ll be doing. I feel con dent that I am prepared to contribute
in my research projects.”
