Master of Aerospace Engineering
The Master of Aerospace Engineering (MAE) is a three-year professional master's degree in aerospace engineering with remote once-per-week evening classes. Tenured faculty and industry professionals teach our multidisciplinary courses to help you advance in aerospace or make the transition from a related engineering field.
Learn about the MAECertificate programs
Each certificate is a 12-month program. You can take a certificate by itself or stack it with a second certificate in the College of Engineering for a professional master's degree.
Modern Aerospace Structures
This certificate program will give you a solid foundation for designing and analyzing modern aerospace structures. You'll cover general concepts, theory, and applications of solid mechanics, including elastic, plastic, and viscoelastic constitutive equations applied to practical examples.
Aerospace Control
Systems
This certificate program will give you a specialized understanding of aerospace systems and control for aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. Through an intensive curriculum, you'll acquire knowledge and practical skills to design, analyze, and optimize control systems.
Aerospace Composite Structures
This certificate program will give you proficiency in designing modern aircraft and aerospace composite structures. You'll study the mechanics of composites, learning key concepts like anisotropy and orthotropy that differ from metals' isotropic behavior.
Structures Bridge
If you are interested in our Structures or Composites certificates or master's concentration, but lack an undergraduate foundation in this area, opt into this course when you apply for one of our professional programs.
Certificate application requirements
You will need to submit a resume or curriculum vitae, an unofficial transcript with at least a 3.0 cumulative grade-point-average, and a statement of purpose.
