Aeronautical 工程 is one of the fastest-growing 工程 fields in the United States today and demands engineers with specialized skills. Lawrence Technological University’s programs offer you a strong foundation with which to enter the industry, featuring a comprehensive curriculum focused on the fundamentals of aeronautical 工程 necessary for aircraft design, 分析, 和测试. Designed for 机械工程 students or graduates, the aeronautical 工程 program at Lawrence Tech provides you with a deeper understanding of this broad field – beyond what is covered in the 机械工程 program. The minor is geared toward students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in 机械工程, and the certificate is geared toward graduates of a 机械工程 (or comparable) program. Both options require 18 credit hours – three core courses and three electives – all built around theory and practice. Throughout your studies, you will explore fluid dynamics, 推进资源, 空气动力学, 结构力学, 控制系统, 噪音及振动, and 工程 materials.
Proud History, Bright Futures
Lawrence Tech has a long history of aeronautics education and research:
- In competitions of the 1930s involving glider teams from across the nation, students from Lawrence Tech wonso often that the University was permanently awarded the national championship trophy!
- An experimental racing airplane, the Spirit of Lawrence Tech, was designed and built by Lawrence Tech students in the late 1940s.
- 二战期间, a Lawrence Tech alumnus developed the revolutionary high wing/rear door design still used in cargo aircraft worldwide.
- Other alumni played key roles in developing rockets, the Apollo missions that took men to the moon, 和航天飞机.
Today, aeronautical 工程 at Lawrence Tech continues to thrive. 每年, students successfully compete in SAE Aero Design® competitions and are active on campus in the student branch of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. 近年来, graduates have been hired by major aeronautical and aerospace companies including NASA, 赛斯纳, 波音公司, and Goodrich Aerostructures.
If you are earning a Bachelor of Science in 机械工程, you are eligible to declare a minor in aeronautical 工程. If you have already completed a Bachelor of Science in 机械工程, 或者类似的学位, you may pursue a certificate in aeronautical 工程.
