Undergraduate Programs

Earn your BS in aerospace or mechanical engineering at the University of Arizona and gain the expertise to succeed in a variety of global industries – from space exploration and sustainable flight to biomedical devices and renewable energy.

Academics

Undergraduate degree programs grounded in the fundamentals of math and physics emphasize teamwork and hands-on experience. Students learn how to design and work on aerodynamic and propulsion systems, make energy systems more efficient, and create medical devices and military hardware, for example.

Outside the Classroom

Collaborate with peers and hone your design skills in clubs – think Baja and Formula race teams and design/build/fly competitions. In professional organizations, be part of a community and develop leadership capabilities. Work on prototypes in the Engineering Design Program, where some companies adopt student-developed products, and do research and internships.
 

Job Prospects

Join the ranks of alumni who have become renowned scientists and inventors, risen to the top of corporations and traveled into space.

Industries from renewable energy and transportation to AI/machine learning and biomedicine need qualified mechanical engineers. And aerospace engineering graduates who can design safe, efficient aircraft or plan space missions have ample regional and global employment opportunities.

Companies and organizations such as NASA, SpaceX, Tesla, Caterpillar, Raytheon, Boeing, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics have stocked their employee rosters with AME graduates.
