Aeronautical Engineering Minor
Technological University Initiated Fall 2006/Spring 2007 Goals of the Aeronautical Engineering Minor:
- To provide depth and understanding in the broad field of Aeronautical Engineering beyond the depth and breadth covered in the 131 credit BSME program.
- To educate students in Aeronautical Engineering which does not only focus on the design and fluid dynamic aspects of aerospace vehicles but includes aerodynamics, structural mechanics, control systems, noise and vibrations, and engineering materials.
- To leverage the publicity and awareness of the rapidly growing aeronautics field.
- To address and respond to the nationwide growth in the aeronautics industry and its demand for mechanical engineers.

Requirements
- Requires the completion of 6 courses (18 credits) from the approved list of related courses.
- Three courses (9 credits) are required (core) courses.
- Undergraduate (BSME) students can use 2 courses, or 6 credits, between BSME program and minor resulting in 4 additional courses (12 credits) beyond BSME for Minor in Aeronautical Engineering.
- Three courses (9 credits) are elective courses.
- The electives that are 6000-level courses can only be taken by students that have been admitted to an engineering graduate program.

Certificate Program in Aeronautical Engineering
Current working professionals who hold a BS technical degree in Mechanical Engineering are eligible to enroll in the Aeronautical Engineering Certificate program. The Aeronautical Engineering Certificate requires the completion of 18 credits with the same three required core course, and permits the student to take three elective courses from the approved list. Students must apply to LTU for admission to the certificate program and will be admitted only after review and approval from the Mechanical Engineering Department Chair.
