ACADEMIC PROGRAM
GW currently
offers an academic program in Aerospace Engineering with options in Aeronautics
and Astronautics leading to the degrees of Master of Science, Professional,
and Doctor of Science. Other academic programs leading to these same degrees
are available in the following areas of concentration: Fluid Mechanics
and Thermal Sciences and Structures and Dynamics. The objective of
the academic program is to prepare qualified students for careers in research,
development, design, and teaching to meet the challenge of ever-increasing
technical problems and the nation's needs in these fields. These
unique opportunities enable students to involve themselves in "real world"
research projects that excite their interest, while taking their graduate
academic courses, and at the same time permit them to associate with prominent
visiting members who are working on related problems. The faculty and NASA
scientists conduct research, and students are closely knit into the intimate
association of research and instruction from the day of their arrival.
It is believed that the experience of the students during their stay at
the Langley Research Center will be highly rewarding and will benefit them
throughout their future careers. The courses are taught at NASA Langley
Research Center by NASA scientists and engineers and the faculty of The
George Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science.
NASA Langley's extensive scientific and engineering facilities and equipment
are utilized whenever feasible. The School of Engineering and Applied Science's
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offer these programs
of study.
