Aerospace Engineering (B.S.)/Mechanical Engineering (B.S.)

Illinois Institute of Technology

Illinois Tech’s Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering/Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering dual degree program allows students the opportunity to complete both degrees in as few as five years. This program opens the door to more job opportunities in engineering and gives students a greater breadth of knowledge in the engineering field. The undergraduate aerospace engineering program explores both the design and manufacturing of aircraft as well as the design and flight of vehicles beyond Earth’s atmosphere. When combined with our undergraduate mechanical engineering program, students will be prepared to participate in the process of designing, developing, and manufacturing machinery and devices at all scales in the area of energy production and transfer as well as in the vast field of system design and control. Students will gain thorough knowledge of engineering principles and methods to drive creativity and innovation by building skills in engineering to find solutions to technological, societal, and environmental problems. Our graduates will learn flight mechanics and controls, computer-aided design and visualization, propulsion systems, and robotics skills for industry success. The current educational objectives of this program ensure our graduates will: Meet the expectations of employers of mechanical and aerospace engineers Be prepared to pursue advanced study if they so desire Be prepared to assume/undertake leadership roles in their communities and/or professions
