This minor is designed to prepare students for professional engineering careers in the aerospace industry or for graduate studies in the aerospace engineering field. In addition to the standard mechanical engineering curriculum, you will take advanced engineering courses covering the topics of aerodynamics, vehicle structures, reaction engines, and aircraft stability and control.

Notre Dame engineers create new things to make life better. Our two undergraduate degree programs, Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, will prepare you for careers of leadership and innovation in industry, government, or research laboratories.

The Bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering provides students with a systemic view of engineering, developed through a scaled and diversified curriculum, to prepare for a career in the development and evaluation of systems linked to aerospace vehicles, as well as in the development of orbital platforms for various purposes. These include propulsion, mechanical, energy, control and navigation systems. The graduate in Aerospace Engineering will also be able to act in the field of special materials used in such systems, as well as in aerodynamics and temperature control of aerospace vehicles and orbital platforms.

The aerospace minor is intended to supplement one of Caltech's undergraduate degrees and is designed for students who wish to broaden their knowledge beyond their normal major or who may wish to pursue a graduate program involving aerospace or aeronautical engineering. Students completing the aerospace minor requirements will have the phrase "minor in aerospace engineering" added to their transcripts.

The aerospace studies minor contributes to UW students’ professional development and serves as a great addition to other majors within the AFROTC program. Understanding of leadership approaches and international relations achieved throughout the program increases the career opportunities of graduates.

This program will teach you how to design and manufacture aircraft parts using a computer (CAD-CAM); plan the manufacturing and assembly stages of aircraft, engines and other components; Shaping aircraft structural elements into composite materials and sheet metal parts collaborate in production process planning, quality control and testing; develop assembly books.

The business of aviation can include the financial analysis of airport expenditures and assets, including aircraft purchases, leases, fuel expenses and airport operations. Gain the expertise necessary to help aviation and aerospace companies navigate complex financial data and make decisions regarding expenditures that will affect operations. Besides aviation business classes, courses include general aircraft science.
