What you will study

Normally, no more than two courses taken outside the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering may be counted toward the requirements for the graduate degree. In special circumstances this may be changed with the approval of the advisor. The remaining credits are taken as elective courses in aeroacoustics, aeronautics, astronautics, propulsion, or space systems.
