Aerospace Engineering

Programs under this Major:: Master of Science Program (MS); Doctor of Philosophy Program (PhD)

Major Description

The department offers programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with a major in aerospace engineering or mechanical engineering. Close relation with the Applied Mathematics Program is maintained. A Bachelor of Science degree from an aerospace or mechanical engineering curriculum of a recognized institution of higher education is required of applicants to the graduate program. In general, a grade average of "B+" or better in previous academic work is expected. Graduates from other engineering, mathematics, and physical sciences curricula may be admitted provisionally. All applicants must submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination general test. Master of Science: All students are required to complete 32 units of graduate work, including two units of 696G. All students are required to complete 500a and 500b and core courses in one fundamental area, i.e., dynamics and control systems, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics and dynamics, and thermal sciences. A student may elect to present a master's thesis (6 units of 910), a master's report (3 units of 909), or complete a course work option. No more than 3 units of independent study are allowed for the course work option. No independent study units are allowed for the thesis or report options. All students are expected to attend a weekly graduate seminar. Specific departmental M.S. degree requirements and examination procedures are described in the department Graduate Program booklet. Doctor of Philosophy: Students admitted with a recent Master of Science degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering are required to complete 30 units of graduate coursework, 18 units of dissertation (920), and 3 units of AME 696G. All other students are required to complete a minimum of 54 units of graduate course work (including 30 units, earned for the M.S. degree), 18 units of dissertation (920), and 3 units of 696G. Each student must pass a qualifying examination. After completing all or nearly all the required course work, the comprehensive examination may be scheduled. The comprehensive examination on the major field is taken after the student has passed the examination on the minor field. Minor fields may be chosen from other engineering, physical sciences, or mathematics departments. A final oral examination including defense of the dissertation is required. Doctoral students are expected to attend a weekly graduate seminar. All degree candidates are required to present a department seminar on their research during the last year in residence. Specific department Ph.D. degree requirements and examination procedures are described in the department Graduate Program booklet. Hide Description
