Graduate Program in Aerospace Engineering
The Aerospace Engineering Department in the College of Engineering at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona or CPP) offers an MS in Engineering with emphasis in Aerospace Engineering (MSE-AE) degree program at the Lancaster University Center in the city of Lancaster. The Program, which started in the Fall of 2007 has received WASC approval and is tailored for aerospace professionals in Antelope Valley. Courses are taught in person, some by Cal Poly Pomona Engineering faculty and some by adjunct engineers/scientists from the local aerospace community in Antelope Valley. The classes meet once a week from 5 to 8 PM. The program offers two courses per semester.
The areas of study include both aeronautics- and astronautics-related disciplines that are in demand by industry and government agencies: aircraft structures, astronautics, air-breathing propulsion, missile engineering, computational fluid dynamics, structural dynamics, robust control of nonlinear systems, digital flight control systems, optimal control and estimation, hypersonic aerodynamics, aircraft system identification, orbit determination , aerodynamics of wings and bodies, aircraft design, and research project.
Students are required to complete a minimum of 30 semester units for graduation. Additionally, each student should complete a Master’s Project, including a formal report, and an oral presentation of the research before a committee of faculty.
