Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering

West Virginia University

Aerospace travel, space exploration and flight of manned or unmanned vehicles continue to gain significance. Aerospace engineering is involved with the science and technology of advanced vehicles, including aircraft, rockets, missiles and spacecraft. Although a specialized branch of engineering, it is also diverse. Aerospace technology has expanded to include design and development of new earthbound vehicles, such as ground effect machines, hydrofoil ships and high-speed rail-type systems. Our graduates go on to work in industrial, commercial, governmental and academic environments. Recent graduates have gone on to work in the aerospace and defense industries. Some continue their educational training with advanced graduate degrees at the master's and doctorate levels. A few pursue medical, law or business post-graduate programs. There are nearly limitless employment and career opportunities with a BSAE degree.
