Ohio State University

• Ohio State University has an undergraduate degree program in aerospace and aeronautical engineering. General education requirements include classes in writing, humanities, history and social sciences. The degree program is designed to help students learn analytical and computational ways to solve aeronautical problems. Students in the program are required to take core coursework in chemistry, English, math, physics and two general engineering classes. Aeronautical degree candidates will study fluid and orbital mechanics, turbomachinery, materials, combustion, flight vehicle control, plasma physics and structural analysis, design and dynamics. Students will also participate in research projects.
