About the program
The Master’s degree program prepares students for professional and research careers involving flight dynamics and design of control systems for advanced models of aircraft, rockets and spacecraft, such as airplanes, aerospace systems, launch vehicles, manned and unmanned spacecraft. Graduates are well equipped to create innovative products and technology solutions, including software used in control systems of aircraft, rocket and space systems, and software used for modeling of controlled motion and dynamics of aircraft, rockets and spacecraft.

Intended learning outcomes
Students on the program will develop skills to search for, organize, process and analyze data to prepare technical specifications for control systems, and to develop preliminary design of advanced aircraft, rocket and spacecraft models. Students will gain knowledge and understanding of mathematical modeling of motion, and development of control programs for aircraft, rocket and spacecraft models. Thesis advisors motivate and encourage students to conduct independent research in the areas of flight dynamics and aircraft control systems.
