M.S./Ph.D. Авиационная инженерия

The College of Aeronautics and Engineering (CAE) seeks highly qualified, independent, and ambitious applicants for its graduate programs in aerospace engineering.

We feature a diverse faculty conducting groundbreaking research and development in four distinct, multidisciplinary research themes. Our faculty have expertise in aircraft design, space exploration, thermal-fluid sciences, data science, artificial intelligence, robotics, fuel cell propulsion and sustainability, and eVTOL propulsion.

Students who join the aerospace engineering programs at Kent State University should prepare for immersing themselves in research. Students are expected to contribute to CAE’s research teams, working with federal, state, and industry collaborators on a broad range of issues. All our students complete a combination of coursework and research that contributes to our discipline.

History of the College

The technology programs at Kent started as early as 1913 when space was allocated on campus for “manual training” as an integral component for the preparation of teachers at Kent State Normal School. In 1995, the Independent School of Technology was established as an integrated eight-campus academic unit. The Independent School of Technology consisted of three academic units, namely: the Division of Aeronautics, the Division of Applied Business and Technology, and the Division of Applied Science and Technology. In 2006, the School of Technology achieved College status and became the College of Technology. In 2011, all technology programs associated with regional campuses were separated from the Kent Campus and became part of the newly formed Regional College. In July 2012, the name of the College of Technology was changed to the College of Applied Engineering, Sustainability, and Technology to reflect the changing mission of the College toward the development of new applied engineering and sustainability programs. In July 2017, the name College of Aeronautics and Engineering was chosen.
