Aerospace Engineering Degree

Hands-on Coursework from Day 1

In UND’s Aerospace Engineering degree program, you will gain hands-on experience from the first courses your take. You'll receive core engineering knowledge in mechanical systems as applied to the aerospace applications and complement this knowledge with your choice of electives. You'll design a system or fabricate a component in at least one engineering course each year. Your classes will emphasize teamwork and collaborative problem solving, along with evolving mandatory skills in today’s engineering workplace.

Gain valuable exposure and insight in UND's Aerospace Engineering program. You will:

• Experience hands-on learning from the start when you complete a design project and test a prototype during your first semester.
• Take classes at the world-renowned John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, an internationally recognized center for aerospace learning, nationally acclaimed for achievements in collegiate aviation education.
• Get on-the-job experience as an entry-level engineer in our co-op program. Work for companies such as Northrop Grumman, Honeywell Aerospace, Cirrus Aircraft, Bell Textron, and NASA while being paid.
• Work on wind-tunnel experiments, space hardware design, rapid prototyping and other projects.

Study at a U.S. Aerospace and UAS Hub

Fittingly located in Grand Forks, North Dakota, an aerospace and UAS-focused hub for both regional and expanding international companies, you’ll find yourself in demand regarding internships, co-ops, and job opportunities. From companies dominating the stratosphere to those embarking on interstellar expeditions, our expanding collaborations with industry partners open up limitless possibilities before and after graduation.

Earn your online Aerospace Engineering degree while you continue to live and work in your own community.

You’ll receive the convenience of online learning with the personal contact and connection of being with classmates. Our online tools offer ways of communicating across distances, connecting to others and their ideas, and presenting information.

Compare the cost of UND’s online Aerospace Engineering degree. You’ll find it’s one of the most affordable accredited degree programs in the nation for aerospace engineering.

Campus Visit

While the majority of your courses are offered online, you’ll come to campus to complete portions of the program. Here, you’ll extend and apply the knowledge you’ve learned online through hands-on activities. Our students find tremendous value in having the opportunity to personally interact with their instructors and fellow students.

SUMMER LAB REQUIREMENTS

Flexible Online Aerospace Engineering Classes

With asynchronous classes, you do not attend class at a set time. If you need to balance work, family, and other commitments, this flexible format allows you to learn anywhere at any time.

Depending on your instructor, you’ll learn online through:

• Lesson modules
• Streaming video content
• Virtual libraries
• Posted lectures
• Online simulations

There will be times when you interact with your instructor and classmates through online discussion boards, polls, and chat rooms.

Your learning revolves around materials that can be accessed on your own time within a set time frame. However, this is not a self-paced course. You’ll have structure and deadlines.

Engineering Club for Online Students

The Society of Distance Engineering Students is a club for online engineering students. You'll have the chance to meet and work with students who study online and those who attend classes on UND's campus. Even though you might be far apart, you can still study and work together easily.
