The Department of Aerospace Engineering offers graduate programs in both aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics. Our unique research facilities include labs for experimental work in low-speed aerodynamics, wind engineering, composite material fabrication and testing, and structural materials testing. For students in engineering mechanics, we provide state-of-the-art ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation and an opportunity to work with diverse projects in our university’s world-renowned Center for Nondestructive Evaluation.
