Master of Engineering (MEng) in space engineering program is open to engineers and scientists from all backgrounds, with aspirations of entering the aerospace workforce. This MEng program in space engineering combines strong emphasis on both theoretical and applied aspects with extensive hands-on experience at all levels. Designed to provide a broad interdisciplinary education in the scientific, engineering and management aspects of complex space systems, the program enhances disciplinary skills and provides insight and education in the systems engineering and management area. The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan has a long and distinguished history as the nation's oldest aerospace program. Our graduate program is ranked No. 5 among public institutions. The scope and quality of research here touches on all major technical disciplines of the field which attracts top talent to Ann Arbor. In addition, our reputation for collegiality provides an optimum environment for learning and growth. <br><br>The successful integration of the scientific, engineering, and management principles used in space systems requires highly capable professionals. In particular, to be able to understand complete space systems, managers must have a broad multidisciplinary background. The MEng program in Space Engineering develops both the theoretical and applied aspects of space engineering, while providing opportunities for hands-on experience at various levels via joint projects with government laboratories and industry. The MEng program focuses on developing systems engineering skills for future space systems engineers. Our students coursework involves real-world space missions, some of which have lead to significant follow-up efforts outside the program.
