A minor in Aerospace Engineering (AAE) provides opportunities for students to take technical engineering courses relevant to aviation and astronautics fields. Advances in aerospace technologies in the aviation field make air travel safer and less expensive while leaving a smaller carbon footprint. Within astronautics, the most advanced launch vehicles send communication satellites, space satellites, Earth and solar science satellites, and manned spacecraft into orbit. The AAE minor is a unique, transcript-visible opportunity for engineering students to prepare for a career in the aviation and astronautics industry.
