UIUC’s Aerospace Engineering BS propels students into the physics-intensive world of aircraft, spacecraft, and autonomous aerial vehicles. Core sequences cover aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, and orbital mechanics, while team capstones partner with NASA, Boeing, and emerging eVTOL start-ups. Students run wind-tunnel experiments in the Aero Test Lab, 3-D-print composite wings, and crunch CFD simulations on campus supercomputers. Whether pursuing planetary exploration or urban air mobility, graduates excel in design, systems integration, and flight-test leadership.
