Overview

Aerospace Engineering from University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) is a combination of two distinct engineering disciplines. Aeronautical Engineering pertains to “within atmospheric influences” and Astronautical Engineering pertains to “outside atmospheric influences.” Accredited Aerospace Engineering degrees typically favor one or the other. The B.S. in Aerospace Engineering at UCCS will favor the Astronautical Engineering discipline to meet workforce needs.

Undergraduate students also have many opportunities to become involved in discipline related activities outside the classroom. The MAE Department has active chapters in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
