    2. Objective The goal of the CSAE is to educate engineering students to identify and solve aerospace-related problems in the fields of structures, propulsion and aerodynamics.

    3. What is Aerospace Engineering? Aerospace Engineering can be defined as the combination of aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering.

    4. What is Aerospace Engineering? (cont.) Aeronautical Engineering deals with the whole field of analysis, design, manufacturing, maintenance, testing, and use of aircraft. It involves the knowledge of aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, flight mechanics, avionics, and other related areas. Astronautical engineering is closely allied to aeronautics, but is concerned with the flight of vehicles in space, beyond the earth's atmosphere, and includes the study and development of rocket engines, artificial satellites, and spacecraft for the exploration of outer space.

    5. What is Aerospace Engineering? (cont.) Aerospace Engineering can be defined as the analysis, design, manufacturing, and use of aircraft and/or spacecraft. Aerospace Engineering is a very diverse field with a multitude of commercial, industrial and government applications.

    6. Justification Aerospace Technology is becoming a focal point of interest for industry and UPRM academia in the Island. In response to that event, PRIDCO has established the Aerospace Cluster of Puerto Rico, which most likely will locate its offices in the western part of Puerto Rico. Aerospace industries require engineering students with a background in aerospace sciences; in the next two years, hiring forecasts envision over 1000 job openings.

    7. Justification (cont.) There is a growing interest from government and corporate aerospace industries to collaborate with the College of Engineering and faculty in aerospace-related research and projects. At UPRM, students do not have an in-depth exposure to aerospace related topics and such an option is available in only a limited number of courses. Hence, the CSAE will satisfy a need for students to obtain a background in Aerospace sciences.
