Department Summary The Aerospace Engineering Department at SJSU offers an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science (BSAE) and a Master of Science (MSAE) in Aerospace Engineering. Hands-on, project-based curricula and state-of-the-art pedagogy prepare our students for professional careers in aerospace engineering fields, such as aircraft and space systems research, design, development, testing, and integration. The department has approximately 480 undergraduate and 80 graduate students.
MSAE program specialization includes sustainable aviation concepts, aerospace structural design, astrodynamics, space systems engineering, hypersonics or propulsion. Students have opportunities to work with AE faculty and NASA engineers to design, build, test, and launch microsatellites like TechEdSat; participate in the design, building, and testing of the hypersonic facility; learn how to use machine/deep learning for structural health monitoring, optimize spacecraft trajectories, or explore electric and hybrid propulsion systems for general aviation, commuter, and large air transports. In addition, students can participate in extra-curricular projects, such as the Spaceport America Cup. MSAE students are encouraged to present their work in professional conferences such as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics SciTech, the International Planetary Probe Workshop, and the International Symposium on Sustainable Aviation.
