Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome to the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCF.
Mechanical and aerospace engineering play a vital role in addressing many of society’s challenges, from transportation and energy systems to healthcare, manufacturing, and space exploration. Our department is committed to educating the next generation of engineers through academic programs in mechanical, aerospace, and biomedical engineering.
Our faculty conduct research that advances fundamental knowledge and addresses practical challenges. Working with federal agencies, national laboratories, industry partners, and colleagues across the university, they provide students with opportunities to participate in research, internships, fellowships, and other experiences that enrich their education and professional development.
Located in Central Florida, UCF benefits from close connections to the aerospace, defense, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology sectors. These relationships strengthen our educational and research programs while helping students prepare for careers in industry, government, and academia.
