MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics

MIT AeroAstro prepares engineers for success and leadership in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of aerospace and related engineering systems. We achieve this through our commitment to: educational excellence; creation, development, and application of technologies critical to aerospace vehicle and information engineering; and to the architecture and engineering of complex high-performance systems.

Our goals are: educate tomorrow’s leaders through innovative educational programs and pedagogies that have as their context the conception, design, implementation, and operation of systems; and processes; create research opportunities that generate inventions, technologies, and solutions to aerospace problems; and provide leadership to MIT and the aerospace community.
