Master's in Aerospace Engineering

San Diego State University (SDSU) offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs across a wide spectrum of fields, including science, engineering, business, humanities, and the arts. The university's strengths lie in its research initiatives, cutting-edge facilities, and its strategic location in San Diego, which provides students with access to numerous opportunities for internships and collaborations with industry leaders. SDSU is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment where students can thrive both academically and personally. Through its dedication to research, innovation, and community engagement, San Diego State University prepares graduates to excel in their chosen fields and make a meaningful impact in the local and global communities they serve.

Students concentrate thier course work in the chosen specialization, and work on related research. To ensure that students can work in multi-disciplinary aerospace environments, the program also requires the students to take courses outside their specialization. The curriculum has been carefully designed to provide students with a sound background in analysis and design aspects of aerospace engineering. Students can choose a thesis project from a variety of cutting-edge research projects that faculty members are involved in. Students are provided with ample opportunity to develop practical skills through participation in course projects, thesis research, funded industrial projects, and numerous internship opportunities at local aerospace companies, including Northrup Grumann, General Atomics and Goodrich Aerostructures. The SDSU aerospace engineering department is also involved in various national level design-build-test competitions, and technical paper contests.
