Master of Science in Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik

The objectives of the Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (M.S.A.E.) degree are to provide a quality graduate educational program that will complement the existing undergraduate and graduate curricula in mechanical engineering. The aerospace graduate program will improve and enhance the capabilities of those students seeking careers in the aerospace field and supporting engineering work for the aerospace and aviation technology community.

The majority of students seeking the M.S.A.E. degree will have undergraduate degrees in the fields of mechanical or aerospace engineering, or closely related fields of engineering, applied physics, or applied mathematics; some will already have graduate degrees in the more conventional areas of engineering or the sciences. Those individuals with engineering (as well as physical science) interests will use the M.S.A.E. to develop careers as well as improve their skills in the aerospace and aviation industry. Students enrolling in the program on a full-time basis will likely assist engineering faculty in obtaining sponsored project funding and performing innovative aerospace and aviation engineering research.

The Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees to more than 2,000 students in nine departments.

With more than 70 full-time faculty, the college has created a well-rounded curriculum by combining practical and empirical knowledge with mathematical and scientific fundamentals and principles, which provides a solid foundation for a successful career in engineering and computer science.

Areas of Engineering and Computer Science covered under the college mission are: Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Undergraduate and graduate degree program in these areas provide employees to the local and regional industry. Some of these students get opportunity to become innovators and entrepreneurs due to their training and education in the college. In addition, the degree programs in Entertainment Engineering and Construction Management serve unique local needs of the hospitality industry.

Research and Development

Our graduate programs thrive due to funded research. They not only train our graduates to be innovators, but also result in innovations which can be a source of income for the university and local economic diversification.

Service

The training and knowledge imparted to our students prepares them for service to local industries and community. Students, Faculty and Staff are involved in a variety of service activities to the community and profession.
