About Aerospace Engineering (aeronautics), Bse in Arizona State University (ASU)

The aerospace engineering curriculum provides students with an education in technological areas critical to the design and development of aerospace vehicles and systems. The aeronautics concentration under the BSE program in aerospace engineering emphasizes engineering and the design of aircraft, helicopters, missiles and other vehicles that fly through the atmosphere.

Topics in required courses cover aerodynamics, aerospace materials, aircraft structures, flight mechanics, propulsion, and stability and control. Required astronautics topics include altitude control and orbital mechanics.

Global Opportunities

Global Experience

With over 250 programs in more than 65 countries (programs vary in length, from one week to one year), study abroad is possible for all ASU students. Study abroad programs offer global skills and knowledge to prepare students to lead in a 21st century career. Students earn ASU credit for completed courses, while staying on track for graduation, and they may apply financial aid and scholarships toward program costs. https://goglobal.asu.edu/

• aeronautical and space systems integration
• configuration development
• material and structural design
• propulsion engineering
• space mission design and analysis
• vehicle and component analysis using computer-aided tools
• vehicle design and performance
• wind tunnel and flight testing

The aerospace engineering program has the following educational objectives:

Through volunteering, entrepreneurial endeavors, community service, employment, etc., graduates of the aerospace engineering program will demonstrate commitment to the Sun Devil ideals of global engagement, social embeddedness, social transformation and sustainability.

Graduates of the aerospace engineering program should have attained one or more of the following objectives within a few years after completing their degrees:

• employment in aerospace or other field in a position that capitalizes on the skills and abilities gained through the degree in aerospace engineering, in positions of increasing responsibility and leadership within the organization
• admission into a graduate degree program in aerospace engineering or other technical field
• admission into a professional degree program, such as law or business, in accordance with the specific interests and abilities of the graduate

Graduates of the aerospace engineering program are expected to attain the following outcomes:

1. an ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

Career examples include but are not limited to those shown in the following list. Advanced degrees or certifications may be required for academic or clinical positions.

Arizona State University (ASU) Highlights

Arizona State University Cost of Attendance

An estimated budget for international students to study in the United States has been given below for all prospective university applicants. The cost of the programme varies depending on the course and the student's residency status.

Arizona State University Financial Aid

• Arizona State University provides merit-based scholarships for international students to study in the US.
• 85% of ASU undergraduate students receive financial assistance.
• The New American University Scholarship is merit-based and offered by ASU for international undergraduate students who have demonstrated academic proficiency.
• College and Departmental Scholarship: ASU has academic departments which offer scholarships and assistantships to its students though the amount and criteria are different department to department.
• Financial Aid for Students regardless of Immigration Status: There are certain other financial aids provided to the students for getting their higher education done in ASU. Following are some of them:
  • Private Financial Aid: The Eligibility criteria will not ask you for any social security number of the application, US Citizenship or lawful presence.
  • ASU scholarship site would help hunting for any private scholarships. The most common one is The Dream Fund. The ASU Scholarship Portal Application has to be completed and submitted by February 1.
  • Budgeting Resources: There is a tuition payment plan in which the tuition fees can be divided into several payments over the course of semester. This allows a student to use different and multiple credit cards and bank accounts. This will help the students to budget their fees for months.
  • Federal and State Financial Aid: Lawful status is the primary acquisition for this scholarship accompanied by a social security number that has to be matched with federal records through FAFSA.
  • Private Student Loans from SoFi: If a student is a DACA holder or a Non-Permanent Resident and he/she also does not hold a valid J-1, H-1B, E-2, E-3, L-1, or O-, then he must apply for a cosigner who is creditworthy and a permanent resident or US Citizen. Students must call on (877) 936-2269.
