What you'll study in a Aerospace Engineering program

  • Calculus, differential equations, and engineering physics
  • Aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, including compressible and subsonic/supersonic flow
  • Propulsion systems (jet engines, rockets, and gas turbines) and thermodynamics
  • Flight mechanics, stability, and aircraft/spacecraft control systems
  • Aerospace structures, materials, and finite-element analysis
  • Orbital mechanics and astronautics for spacecraft and satellites
  • CAD, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and simulation tools
  • Wind-tunnel, propulsion, and flight testing in a senior capstone design project

Where a Aerospace Engineering degree can lead

Typical pay: Informational only (BLS, 2024 aerospace engineers median $134,830)

An Aerospace Engineering major is typically a bachelor's degree (BS) covering aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, aircraft and spacecraft structures, materials, and guidance, navigation, and control. Like other engineering BS programs, it builds on a foundation of calculus, differential equations, and physics, and most curricula split into aeronautics (aircraft within the atmosphere) and astronautics (spacecraft and orbital mechanics) tracks, ending in a senior capstone design project.

Graduates design, analyze, test, and certify aircraft, missiles, satellites, launch vehicles, and propulsion systems, often using CAD, computational fluid dynamics, finite-element analysis, and wind-tunnel or flight testing. They work for aircraft and spacecraft manufacturers, defense contractors, airlines, and government agencies such as NASA and the FAA, frequently within teams alongside mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 6.1% employment growth for aerospace engineers from 2024 to 2034, and reports a 2024 median wage of $134,830 for the occupation. The typical entry-level education for these roles is a bachelor's degree.
