Highlights
The Aerospace Engineering program, ranked by USNWR in the top 20 universities for undergraduate and the top 20 public universities for graduate programs in aerospace engineering, plans to establish new BS/MS program in Space Engineering, which provides a pathway for development of SEMTE student and faculty interaction with the space-domain research initiatives at ASU, including: the MILO Space Science Institute; the New Space Initiative; ASU-led NASA programs such as Psyche and SPARCS; and satellite fabrication facilities such as the Interplanetary Cubesat Lab. Faculty members in the Fulton Schools are expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, adopt effective pedagogical practices in the development and delivery of undergraduate and graduate courses, advise both undergraduate and graduate student research and projects, and undertake service activities.
