Master of Engineering in Aerospace Systems Engineering

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Aerospace Systems Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a professional degree designed for students seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in aerospace systems. This program can be completed on-campus or online and typically takes 1 to 3 semesters. Students will engage in a capstone project instead of a thesis, allowing them to apply their learning to real-world challenges. The curriculum includes core courses such as Aerospace Systems Engineering I and II, along with a selection of electives that cover various aspects of aerospace engineering, including aerodynamics, structural design, and control systems. The program emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach, preparing graduates for leadership roles in the aerospace industry by equipping them with the necessary tools to develop and manage complex aerospace systems.
