BSc in Engineering - Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in Princeton United States | Princeton University

The Department provides two accredited degree options: Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering. Students interested in pursuing both degrees concurrently can do so through strategic course planning. Each program establishes a basis for diverse career paths and can be paired with certificate programs (Princeton's version of a minor), including Engineering Biology, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Materials Science in Engineering, Engineering Physics, Robotics and Intelligent Systems, and Engineering and Management Systems. Reflecting Princeton's emphasis on instruction, the department maintains a low student-to-faculty ratio, with professors readily accessible for guidance and conversations. All MAE students participate in independent projects during their studies or opt to complete a senior thesis, both options enabling them to address genuine engineering challenges in close partnership with faculty members and their graduate students. Engineering's interdisciplinary character also leads to frequent collaboration with faculty from other departments, broadening the range of their investigations. Students may also develop their own projects with support from an appropriate advisor.
