ASE- ACCEND

Aerospace Engineering (http://www.ase.uc.edu)

The Aerospace Engineering program is for students whose interest is to work in the aerospace or a related industry or go on to graduate study in one of the disciplines associated with aerospace engineering. In broad terms, Aerospace Engineering is the use of advanced science and technology in the design and development of flight vehicles and their propulsion systems. This includes the analysis and design of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, turbojets, turbofans, ramjets, scramjets, and rockets. As an aerospace engineer, you will develop new technologies in control, navigation, and propulsion that will lead to future milestones in the history of flight.

The Aerospace ACCEND program provides qualified students an opportunity to accelerate their education and compete for the more challenging and interesting jobs.

Advantages of the ACCEND program include:

• Obtain a BS and MS degree in 5 years
• Participate in a high quality, research oriented program
• Participate in Co-op and research projects
• Graduates receive higher pay and more challenging career opportunities
• Development of professionalism and maturity beyond that from traditional engineering programs
