Overview

Aerospace Engineering (ASE)

By encompassing the areas of aeronautics and astronautics, the aerospace engineering program at UC prepares students to analyze, design and implement aerospace systems for the next generation of explorers. Students build a foundation in the contemporary aerospace engineering principles required to innovate in a variety of fields. Students learn to design and develop flight vehicles and aerospace systems like avionics, propulsion, remote sensing and autonomous navigation.

Aerospace Engineering program information

Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE)

ISEs design systems and processes. You'll learn to optimize complex processes, systems, and organizations with an emphasis on products and services.

Industrial & Systems Engineering program information

Mechanical Engineering (ME)

Mechanical engineers use the principles of force, energy, and motion to design, manufacture, and operate machines and mechanical systems that work in a safe, efficient, economical, and predictable fashion.

Mechanical Engineering program information

Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET)

Mechanical Engineering Technology comprises the hardware and computer-oriented aspects of mechanical design, manufacturing, and energy systems in an applied fashion.
