Launching the Next Generation of Aerospace Engineers
Home to the program ranked as the No. 1 Best Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering Program (at Schools Without a Ph.D.) by "U.S. News & World Report" (2026), the Prescott Department of Aerospace Engineering inspires students to take flight — literally and figuratively. Our graduates design and build aircraft, spacecraft and systems that push the limits of what’s possible.
Where Innovation Takes Flight
From atmospheric flight to deep-space exploration, our students master the fundamentals of flight dynamics, propulsion, structures and control. With the option to specialize in Aeronautical (aircraft) or Astronautical (spacecraft) design, every student charts a path toward their passion.
Hands-On Learning for Real-World Impact
Through immersive design projects, lab work and team collaborations, students apply theory to practice, developing the creativity, technical skills and confidence to solve tomorrow’s aerospace challenges.
