The Aerospace Engineering (AE) program at Wichita State University specializes in the study of both aircraft and spacecraft. Courses are offered in the following general areas: Aerodynamics (e.g., what keeps the vehicle in the air) Propulsion - (e.g., what makes the vehicle move) Stability and Control - (e.g., what keeps the vehicle on course) Structures - (e.g., what holds the vehicle together) The aerospace engineering curriculum is designed to develop skills in these five areas, as well as in math, physical science, general engineering, digital computation, and written and oral communication. When students are a senior, they will be ready for courses in aerospace design. The aerospace engineering department has well-equipped laboratory facilities for required courses and student projects. Students will have access to laboratory facilities that are among the finest found in academic institutions nationwide - including five wind tunnels, a water tunnel, a water table, a structural testing, flight simulation, controls, propulsion (with a jet engine), astronautics, and prototyping labs. College of engineering students also have access to computer laboratories and a campus-wide wireless network.
