Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering - Atmospheric Flight

Aerospace engineers have made our world a better place by developing safe and reliable aircraft and spacecraft and by innovations in many other fields. As an aerospace engineer, you might develop the next generation of satellites that monitor the environment and enable global communication and navigation, or build autonomous aircraft to detect pipeline leaks. You might also design clean-burning jet engines, improved plasma displays, or super efficient wind turbines to harvest wind energy. Or, you might use space-age materials to design artificial limbs, invisible braces, or shock-absorbing footwear. The Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering requires 127 semester credit hours (SCH) for completion. Many students can claim credit by exam for some B.S. ASE degree requirements through AP, IB, and entrance exam scores.
The field of aerospace engineering developed because of humanity's desire for aircraft systems for military, commercial, and civilian purposes, it was first called aeronautical engineering or aeronautics. When the space age began, it was natural for aeronautical engineers to participate in the development of spacecraft systems for space exploration. This branch of engineering became known as astronautical engineering or astronautics, and the combined field is called aerospace engineering or aeronautics and astronautics. Because of the diverse nature of the work, the aerospace engineer must have a basic knowledge of physics, mathematics, digital computation, and the various disciplines of aerospace engineering: aerodynamics and propulsion, structural mechanics, flight mechanics and orbital mechanics, and control. Because of their extensive education in fundamental disciplines, aerospace engineers can work in areas other than aerospace engineering and are employed in a wide range of careers.
This design track (also called Aeronautics) provides the student with a well-rounded program of study emphasizing the major disciplines of aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, design, performance, and control of aircraft. These subjects are treated at a fundamental level that lays a foundation for work in a broad variety of specialties in the aircraft industry. This option is intended primarily for the undergraduate student whose primary interest is aircraft. Coursework includes: Applied Aerodynamics, High-Speed Aerodynamics Laboratory, Aircraft Design I and Aircraft Design II.

Your High School Transcripts and Any College Transcripts
Please submit documentation showing that you have completed (or will be completing) an accredited secondary school series equivalent to that of a U.S. high school. Please ensure your official record or transcript (mark sheet) shows your secondary work and grades (or marks) from 9th to at least the end of 11th grade. You will need to include 9th grade even if that work was completed at a different institution. You should also include copies of your official final examinations taken at the end of the secondary school program, including external exams such as the General Certificate of Education (GCE) O and A level examinations, school leaving certificates and matriculation exams. If you have earned any college credit (including dual credit) while in high school, submit official transcripts to UT Austin. Please provide official English translations together with the original language records.
High School Prerequisites - You must complete or be on track to complete certain high school coursework to be competitive for admission.
SAT/ACT Scores - Students should submit at least one set of scores directly from the testing agency. We do not require the SAT Essay or ACT Writing scores. Scores included in transcripts and copies of score reports dont meet this requirement. When you ask the testing agency to send your scores, use the codes the agencies have designated for UT Austin:
SAT 6882
ACT 4240
Resume
Letters of Recommendation

TOEFL: 79 (internet-based test)
IELTS: An overall band of 6.5 on the Academic Examination
