Aerospace engineering is a four-year program starting with core engineering subjects like mechanics, thermodynamics, materials, solid and fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Students also take specialized courses in aerospace structures, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, propulsion, controls, and aerospace design. Graduates typically pursue careers in the aerospace sector, working on aircraft and spacecraft development, but they also find opportunities in related industries that apply comparable technologies, such as mechanical and energy fields. This includes roles in automotive, marine, and sports equipment manufacturing.
