BSE - Aerospace Engineering Astronautics: This concentration is offered in partnership with the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Fulton School of Engineering. The curriculum covers orbital mechanics, space environment, attitude determination and control, telecommunications, space structures, rocket propulsion, and gas dynamics as well as elective topics in aeronautics. Astronautics students study alongside students majoring in Exploration Science, and design projects are carried out within transdisciplinary student teams.See the "Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering" for information on admission eligibility requirements, admission deadlines, and accreditation. For more information or to schedule an appointment with an advisor, call the Office of Undergraduate Programs in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at 480/727-6764 or SESE at 480/965-5081.In addition to the basic required courses for the Aerospace Engineering major, this academic concentration consists of 32 semester hours from the courses listed below.
