More information about graduate studies is available in the Graduate School Bulletin . More information about aviation is available at the Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mechanics, and Aviation Department homepage . The undergraduate curriculum in aviation is designed to prepare a student with the foundation upon which to develop and function as a professional responsible for the design, management, and operation of tomorrow's safe and efficient national and international aviation systems.
Aviation is a high-technology, competitive business, operating in a tough regulatory structure.
In order to provide the aviation student with an ability to deal with complex technical problems, the curriculum contains an engineering science and analysis component, in addition to the engineering freshman program. Other components of the program include principles of transportation management, aviation, and a technical elective grouping which permits the student to pursue some degree of specialization in her or his program of study. Students are encouraged to contact the department for additional information. Each student admitted to the program will be assigned a faculty adviser who can provide personal guidance. The bachelor's program is designed for students interested in an aviation program containing a strong engineering science and analysis component.
