Aerospace Engineering - Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Aerospace Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a Campus Bachelor Aeronautical engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Undergraduate study in the department leads to either the Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering or the Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering with Information Technology at the end of four years. The subjects listed as Aerospace Engineering represent the more traditional aerospace disciplines encompassing the design and construction of airframes and engines. This includes fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, heat and mass transfer, computational mechanics, flight vehicle aerodynamics, solid mechanics, structural design and analysis, the study of engineering materials, structural dynamics, and propulsion and energy conversion from both fluid/thermal (gas turbines and rockets) and electrical devices. The subjects listed as Aerospace Information Technology are in the broad disciplinary area of information, which plays an ever increasing role in modern aircraft and spacecraft. This includes feedback, control, estimation, control of flight vehicles, software engineering , human factors engineering , aerospace communications and digital systems, the way in which humans interact with the vehicle, through manual control and supervisory control of telerobotic processes (e.g., modern cockpit systems and human centered automation) and how planning and real time decisions are made by machines. Subjects in aerospace information technology are taught in both the Departments of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
