Course sequences for Aerospace Engineering
Engineering students must follow the approved course sequence for their program to ensure graduation after four years (8 terms) of study. Registering for the sections for your program means no time conflicts or problems with your courses.
All students in engineering programs must complete all 200-level courses in their programs prior to commencing courses at the 400-level.
Students must choose technical electives from the approved list in the Undergraduate Calendar. Topics offered in these courses change over time to ensure your program curriculum remains relevant. Some technical electives may not be offered in a given academic year.
Capstone Design Project courses (INDU, MECH, and AERO 490) extends over two academic terms.
Aerospace Engineering Course Sequences
Option A: Aerodynamics & Propulsion
Option B: Aerospace Structures & Materials
Option C: Avionics & Aerospace Systems
AERO 290 is a new course that is offered in the winter semester of the 2nd year and is a pre-requisite to AERO 390.
Students who have been admitted/transferred to the AERO program (any option) for FALL 2018 or after are required to take AERO 290 as part of their program requirements. As a result, those same students are now required to take 3 credits less of AERO Option Electives.
Students who are required to take AERO 290 can find their Option Elective requirements in section 71.55 of the 2021-2022 Undergraduate calendar.
Students who have been admitted/transferred to the AERO program (any option) prior to FALL 2018 are NOT required to take AERO 290 as part of their program requirements. As such their technical elective requirements do not change.
Students in Aerospace Option A who are not required to take AERO290 as part of their program requirements must complete at least 9.5 credits from the following Option Electives, with no more than one of the courses marked *. course as an elective.
