Description:

Expand your engineering knowledge through advanced study and research while tackling challenges facing the future of aviation, aerospace and space with the Master of Applied Science in Systems Design Engineering Collaborative Aeronautics program

This is accomplished by exposing students to psychological theory and methods through coursework, as well as providing students with hands-on opportunities to conduct research and consulting projects in collaboration with faculty. In short, our goal is to develop exceptional researchers and practitioners who can make a difference to organizations, to workers, and to the I-O field broadly.

You’ll take an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to exploring solutions to engineering problems at the cutting edge of technology and design while completing aeronautical training with Collaborative Aeronautics Program students from other fields, strengthening your interdisciplinary skills to apply your research towards impactful solutions.
