The Aerospace Science Engineering Department at 精东AV is an EAC/ABET accredited program started in 1983 and presently offers the Bachelor of Science degree. 精东AV is the first and only historically black institution of higher learning to offer an accredited BS degree program in this field. Our graduates are working with the U.S. Armed Forces, Government Agencies and the aerospace industry, and some have pursued graduate degrees. The six faculty members work actively on sponsored research projects in experimental and computational aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, propulsion, flight vehicle structures, orbital mechanics, trajectory optimization, human factors engineering, and engineering education. The college prepares professionals for a full, satisfying and competitive career in an era when society demands comprehensive solutions to environmental and technological problems as well as major advances in the knowledge basis.
Students receive a sound technical foundation in the latest techniques of their discipline. They are also provided with a broad socio-humanistic background that is so essential to twenty-first century solution making. The college encourages its graduates to become professionally qualified and to seek graduate or continuing education for their personal development.
Mission Statement
