At the Masters level, our graduates will have reached a level of expertise in one or more of the specialties important to advanced aerospace system design, development, manufacture, maintenance, and/or operation that allows industry and/or government employers to assign them responsibilities in those specialties. Those who complete our doctoral programs will have achieved the abilities needed to independently perform the kind of original research that fundamentally advances the state of the art in some important aspect of aerospace engineering.
The School of AE at GT is outstandingly active and productive in aerospace engineering research in all of the essential disciplines listed, above. Thus, the abilities of faculty in the classroom continuously reflect the rapid advances in technologies and methodologies typical of the field of aerospace engineering. Sponsors of funded research in the School – contract totals of which are over 30 millions of dollars, year after year – include NASA; the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Army; the FAA; the NSF; and a veritable “Who’s Who” of aerospace companies.
Student extracurricular activities include chapters in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics; the American Helicopter Society; the aerospace honorary fraternity, Sigma Gamma Tau; and the GT Student Aerospace Engineering School Advisory Council.
