Overview
The mission of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from University of Alabama Huntsville is to provide undergraduate and graduate education, research, and public service in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering disciplines and to support the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering needs of Huntsville, the State of Alabama, the region, our nation, and the international community.
The broad range of faculty research interests in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers opportunities for advanced work in rocket propulsion, combustion, applications of plasma science, fluid and solid mechanics, heat transfer, acoustics, aerodynamics, transport phenomena in energy systems, computational mechanics, experimental mechanics, dynamics and controls, and autonomous vehicles.Career
Aerospace Systems Engineering graduate students have outstanding opportunities for research, collaboration, cooperative employment, and future employment with government research centers and high-tech businesses.
In addition, a number of UAH research centers collaborate with the MAE Department, including the Propulsion Research Center, the Center for Rotor craft Systems Engineering and Simulation, the Center for Modeling, Simulation & Analysis, the Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research, the Center for Applied Optics, and the Nano and Micro Devices Center.
