About

Since its inception in 1942, the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has been a national leader in engineering education. As the new space age is emerging on a global scale, we have the exciting opportunity to establish ourselves as a world leader in multiple areas, skyrocketing our presence as:

• the nucleus for technology development for new space.
• the hub for the next generation of computational methods and data analytics for aerospace.
• trailblazers in transdisciplinary research.

This five-year plan lays out the strategies we will pursue to launch our department to new heights. We will consider this plan a success if we are able to shape those who will shape tomorrow by providing a world-class, hands-on education, a deep commitment to innovation, and a welcoming community of collaboration.
