Aerospace Engineering

Overview

About the Program

It’s not a bad thing to have your head in the clouds. Thanks to limitless dreamers, our society boasts satellite systems that guide our GPS devices, airplanes that transport us safely around the globe, and spacecraft that whisk our technology across the galaxy. If you dream of inventing new systems that propel equipment and people among the clouds and the stars, then consider an aerospace engineering degree from Case Western Reserve University.

The Aerospace Engineering program of the Case Western Reserve University is fully accredited by ABET. Here, you’ll master core concepts like math, science and engineering design that you’ll apply to solve a variety of problems related to machines, propulsion, aerogas dynamics, aircraft, fluids and heat.

Even with your head in the clouds, we want you to be hands-on. In fact, the vast majority of our students participate in some kind of experiential learning activity, from co-ops and studying abroad to research. Interested students can get involved in research beginning their first year on campus, with many students publishing in peer-reviewed journals before they graduate. Join a faculty research lab exploring the principles of combustion in microgravity environments, or use lasers and ultrasound to master the principles of fluid dynamics. Join a student group like the Rocket Team to build aircraft that launch payloads into the stratosphere.
