Master of Aerospace Engineering

Overview

The Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (MSAE) is housed within the Aerospace Engineering department, and provides formal advanced study, preparing students for careers in the aerospace industry and in research and development. It is planned to augment the individual student’s engineering and science background with adequate depth in areas of aeroacoustics, nondestructive testing, aerodynamics, design and optimization, propulsion, aerospace structures, composites, computational fluid dynamics and other areas of aerospace engineering. Candidates for both degree programs can select courses that prepare them for the aerospace engineering profession or that prepare them to continue on to doctoral studies.

Advantages

The Master’s degrees in aerospace engineering are available for students who want to obtain a deeper understanding of complex engineering concepts, thereby paving the way to aerospace research and development, or a career in engineering education.

Embry-Riddle's aerospace engineering program is well known throughout the aerospace industry, and the department maintains a formalized interaction with many aerospace firms. The faculty are dedicated to serving the students, and all of them have excellent backgrounds in a variety of specializations.

Requirements

The AE electives must be chosen from the following lists, which depend on the student’s selected area of concentration.
