Overview

Key facts:

The Aeronautics and Astronautics programme is offered at the Purdue University.
The field of aeronautical and astronautical engineering includes the challenging problems encountered in the design and operation of many types of aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles and puts a constant demand on research and development groups for an even better understanding of basic physical phenomena.
Aeronautical education has existed on at least a small scale at Purdue University since about 1920. Aeronautical Engineering degrees were first offered at Purdue by the School of Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering during WWII, and the first B.S. degrees were awarded in 1943. The School of Aeronautics was established as a separate entity on July 1, 1945.
During the first 60 years of its existence, the school awarded 5,824 BS degrees, 1,439 MS degrees and 474 PhD degrees. Graduates have made significant contributions to the aerospace field and have held positions of high responsibility in government and private industry. Twenty-five graduates of Purdue have become astronauts, and of these, 16 have been graduates of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
