University Majors

University of California, Irvine
Aerospace Engineering B.S.

Aerospace engineers analyze, design, and manufacture aircraft and spacecraft, including the engines that propel these vehicles. To achieve these goals, aerospace engineers use mathematics, physics, and chemistry together with engineering science and technology in areas such as aerodynamics, controls and system design, flight and fluid mechanics, heat transfer, propulsion, and structural dynamics. Course work emphasizes engineering fundamentals and their application to the aerospace field. Laboratory courses provide hands-on experience with wind-tunnel testing, advance flow diagnostics, structural testing, and control system design.
