University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering 854 Downey Way, RRB 101 Los Angeles, CA 90089 US   Phone: 1-213-740-5353   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's M.S. - Aerospace Engineering Doctoral Ph.D. On Campus   Aerospace and mechanical engineers design and build unique, complex mechanical-optical-electronic (mechoptronic) systems, ranging in scale from the International Space Station (102 m) to microscale electric generators and pumping systems (< 10-3 m). During the last half-century the capabilities of mechoptronic systems have expanded to near-Earth, planetary, interplanetary and galactic space. There has been a parallel inward extension to the ocean depths, far underground, and deep inside the intricacies of our own bodies. A broad range of engineering science research is critical to developing novel, complex mechoptronic systems. As a consequence, aerospace and mechanical engineers conduct extensive basic and applied research within and crossing their usual disciplinary boundaries, they also synthesize research from many other disciplines.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GMAT Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 10495  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 3455  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $1121  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $26904  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
