Minor in Aerospace Engineering
About This Program
The Minor in Aerospace Engineering provides qualified students with fundamental aerospace engineering knowledge. Students will gain fundamental aerospace engineering concepts in aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, and aerospace structures.
Competencies
- Upon completion, students will have the ability to identify, formulate and solve aerospace engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
Admissions Criteria
To pursue the minor, a student must be in compliance with the AE 3-GPA calculation requirements for all completed courses that are part of the BSAE program and be in compliance with the COE 3-attempt rule, including prerequisite courses.
