The Purdue University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics is Purdue University's school of aerospace engineering contained within the Purdue University College of Engineering. The school offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in aeronautical and astronautical engineering.
The School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue confers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in aeronautical and astronautical engineering, also known as aerospace engineering. This field addresses the challenges of designing and operating many types of aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles.
The School of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AAE) undergraduate program normally begins in the second year, after completion of the common First Year Engineering Program. Find out how to enter First-Year Engineering and transition to Aeronautics and Astronautics on the AAE Admissions page.
This discipline encompasses the systems and physical phenomena defining flight in and out of Earth’s atmosphere, including aerodynamics, propulsion, orbital dynamics, control systems and aerospace structures. The BS AAE degree prepares you for a wide range of jobs in aerospace engineering.
The Aeronautics and Astronautics curriculum emphasizes the disciplines of aerodynamics, aerospace systems, astrodynamics and space applications, propulsion, structures and materials, dynamics and control, and further provides courses that integrate these disciplines into the design of flight vehicles to perform the required mission.
Aeronautical and astronautical engineers apply their understanding of basic physical phenomena to design and operate aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles. Aeronautics is the design, development, analysis, testing, and production of aircraft for military or civilian markets.
