Breadth and Mathematics Requirements
Aerospace Engineering Breadth Requirements
Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Combustion and Propulsion (AFMCP) |
AE 410/CSE 461: Computational Aerodynamics |
Controls and Dynamical Systems (CDS)
and
Space Systems (SS) |
AE 454: Systems Dynamics & Control AE 402 Orbital Mechanics |
Structural Mechanics and Materials (SMM) |
Also accepted are any courses which have the below-listed SMM courses as prerequisites. AE 451: Aeroelasticity |
It is possible that a MS student may have taken one or more of these or equivalent courses at the University of Illinois or elsewhere. In this case, if the course has not been used toward another degree, the student is allowed to petition to certify that one of the core area requirements has already been satisfied.
Mathematics Requirements
Graduate students are expected to exhibit competence in applied mathematics. MS students may meet this requirement by taking a minimum of 3-4 hours of mathematics courses from this list:
- ECE 580: Optimiz by Vector Space Methds
- MATH 446: Applied Complex Variables
- MATH 447: Real Variables
- MATH 448: Complex Variables
- MATH 461: Probability Theory
