Welcome to the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at The University of Alabama.

The department has a long and rich history dating back to 1912 with the formation of the Department of Engineering Mechanics and to the late 1920s with the start of the aeronautics program. The two departments merged in 1996 to form the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics.

Our department offers four degree programs: (1) a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering, (2) a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering, (3) a Master of Science in Engineering Science and Mechanics, and (4) a Doctorate in Engineering Science and Mechanics. Students graduating from our program have moved on to extremely successful careers in private industry, government, military service and academia.
