Introduction

Get ready to soar! Whether you dream about building solar-powered planes, designing nanosatellites, or putting the first person on Mars, this program is the perfect launchpad. As an aerospace engineering major, you’ll quickly discover that the sky isn’t the limit as you explore new ways to solve complex problems. If you’re the type of person who likes pushing boundaries and doing things that other people say can’t be done, then keep scrolling.

What will I learn?

As an aerospace engineering major, you'll start by building a solid foundation with classes and labs in science and math, including chemistry, physics, and calculus. As you move on to specific aerospace engineering courses, you’ll learn more about materials, fluid mechanics, design theory, and related topics. Yes, it’s rocket science, but you’ll still have time for a few electives outside of your major as you prepare for a successful career in aeronautics and astronautics.

What can I do outside of class?

Intern at NASA. Design an aircraft. Present your research at a national conference. These are just a few of the opportunities you might have here.

  • Research: Even as an undergraduate, you may be able to conduct and present research; UB has multiple research centers in this area, including the Center for Hybrid Rocket Exascale Simulation Technology, the Center for Space Cyber Strategy and Cyber Security, and the Center for Multisource Information Fusion.
  • Student groups: Join one of the dozens of engineering student clubs, including groups where students have built aircraft, satellites, and rockets.
  • Internships, co-ops, and experiential learning: Get hands-on experience and build your network at Moog, Lockheed Martin, IBM, Honda, and other leading organizations, and participate in engineering intramurals and other programs on campus.
  • Study abroad: If you’re looking for a life-changing experience and international perspective, consider going abroad; UB engineering students have traveled to Australia, Costa Rica, France, and many other countries during summer and winter breaks.
