AOSS MEng Program Overview
The successful integration of the scientific, engineering, and management considerations in space systems requires highly capable professionals. In particular, managers at all levels must have a broad interdisciplinary background: they must be able to see branches, trees, and the entire forest at the same time.
The AOSS MEng program in Space Engineering combines strong emphasis on both theoretical and applied aspects with extensive hands-on experience at all levels. Designed to provide a broad interdisciplinary education in the scientific, engineering and management aspects of complex space systems, the program enhances disciplinary skills and provides insight and education in the systems engineering and management area.
If you are interested in studying the scientific, engineering and management aspects of space engineering, this program, developed with Aerospace Engineering and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, allows you to structure the program to your specific area of interest.
Program Objectives
- To provide a comprehensive knowledge of space science and engineering and their interrelationship.
- To increase depth beyond the baccalaureate level in a space-related discipline.
- To teach the systems approach to conceiving, designing, manufacturing, managing, and operating complex space systems.
- To provide practical experience in space system design, project development and management.
