The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the oldest – and largest – educational programs of its kind in the country. The Institute had been asked to instruct U.S. Army personnel in aviation matters as early as 1917. A stand-alone department was formed in 1930 after receiving the seventh – and last – grant from the Daniel Guggenheim fund. Known then as the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, its name was officially changed to the School of Aerospace Engineering on July 1, 1962.
Degree programs in aerospace engineering are offered at Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate levels. The program’s objectives are to graduate holders of the undergraduate degree who have the necessary understanding of aerodynamics, structures, vehicle dynamics and control, propulsion, and interdisciplinary design to be well prepared for careers in aerospace and related engineering fields. They are, further, to be well-trained to function as professionals who can formulate, analyze and solve problems that may include economic, social and environmental constraints. And finally, to be prepared to communicate well, function well in the global environment and in teams, and be life-long learners, as required to contribute substantially by doing research on, developing, and implementing future systems and applications..
