The faculty, students, and staff of the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech never fail to impress in their ability and dedication to keeping the School at the forefront of the important, challenging, and constantly changing field of aerospace engineering.
To meet these challenges and take maximum advantage of these changes in education and research, however, our talented and devoted people need the support of substantial resources. Our most valuable resources are the many loyal alumni and corporate friends beyond the campus who support the outstanding Georgia Tech Aerospace Engineering community.
To the traditional core disciplinary competencies that are the foundation of the School’s strength have recently been added new faculty and new instructional and research activities that reflect changes in the wider aerospace enterprise. At the bachelor’s degree level we are encouraging hands-on research involvement, an Honors Program that acts as a springboard to graduate work, and a new International Option that recognizes the burgeoning globalization of the aerospace industry. In the arena of cutting-edge research, new faculty have taken substantial numbers of graduate students into such promising areas as ionic propulsion for space applications, air transport terminal operations as they influence aircraft design, and the architectural planning of space satellite constellations—to cite just a few examples.
To continue to meet our goal of educating outstanding graduates in such a dynamic environment, the School must continue to have the necessary resources not just in magnitude but also in a timely manner. In this era of decreased federal and state funding, support from the private sector is critical to meeting our goals.
Since its inception in 1930, the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech has been a leader in the programs of instruction and research that constitute higher aerospace engineering education. With your support, we can maintain our leadership position in these nationally important enterprises. To help us expand our education and research efforts in fields critical to the aerospace engineering community, you might, for example, consider endowing a professorship or student fellowship, or supporting much-needed building renovations, enhancements to our student library, and increased laboratory space for the fundamental aerospace research that drives innovations in applications.
Please join us as we continue our strong tradition of leadership and distinction among the nation’s best schools.
