Aerospace engineering focuses the analysis, design and operation of vehicles and systems (e.g. rockets, spacecraft, re-entry vehicles, etc.) which involve space flight or the means of getting to and/or from space. Aerospace engineers gain significant education and experience in designing and analyzing systems for atmospheric and space environments.
The Aerospace Engineering program at RPI is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Aerospace and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
