Geogria Institute of Technology

Aerospace Engineering is shaping the future of transportation, communication, explorations, and security through hands-on experience and teamwork. The school’s mission is to prepare students for leadership positions in design, testing, and operation of complex aerospace and related systems. Aerospace Engineers are involved in all aspects of aeronautics (working with aircraft) and astronautics (working with spacecraft). They conduct research, and design and develop vehicles and systems for atmospheric and space environments. These engineers often specialize in one of many areas such as aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, orbital mechanics, fluids, structures, guidance & control, and computation. Why should I give?

Our most important need is for graduate fellowships.

Graduate fellowships help us attract the best candidates into our highly productive Ph.D. program and thus improve our chances of winning research funding and placing more of our Ph.D.s as professors in universities around the world.

Discretionary funds for professors have multiple effects.

Discretionary funds to help new faculty set up their laboratories and quickly become productive teachers and researchers are vital. Discretionary funds allow our graduate students to participate in the most prestigious research conferences—often presenting their thesis work. Named professorships, even small ones, give specific faculty the flexibility to peruse new areas of research—areas where funding opportunities exist, but only if the proof-of-concept experiments already have been done.

Scholarships bring more young people into our field.

Georgia Tech attracts some of the best undergraduates in the world. We are always in need of more scholarship funds to make sure these young scholars can maximize their educations.
