Rutgers University School of Engineering (New Brunswick) 55 courses
The undergraduate program in Aerospace Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://wwww.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Aerospace Engineering. The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers a standard curriculum leading to a BS degree in Aerospace Engineering, covering the areas of aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering with an optional Energy Systems, Packaging Engineering, or Robotics Concentration. Students who select the Energy Systems, Packaging Engineering, or Robotics Concentration are required to take the appropriate departmental elective courses related to the energy, packaging engineering, or robotics fields, respectively. These courses may also count towards the technical electives for degree completion. The Packaging Engineering Concentration also requires a fourth course, Introduction to Packaging Engineering. Details of the standard AE curriculum and the energy, packaging, or robotics engineering concentrations are presented in the AE Curriculum section of the Aerospace Engineering Undergraduate Handbook on the Rutgers MAE website .
