Aerospace Engineering Study Abroad

Make an Appointment

Aerospace engineering students typically study abroad in the spring of their sophomore year through several of our exchange partners or the Clark in Madrid program. Aerospace students must complete ENAE202, ENES232, MATH240/MATH461, MATH246, and PHYS270 before the fall of the junior year to stay on track for graduation. **Students should plan to take ENAE202 in fall of their second year prior to study abroad or during the summer after study abroad.**

The ISAE Space Summer Program is an ideal summer option where you can fulfill 3 credits of technical electives while abroad.

You can view study abroad courses that have been previously evaluated by visiting our International Course Database. If you're ahead in your Math and Physics sequencing, studying abroad in other locations is also an option.

Due to the nature of this program, there is a chance that while Nanyang Technological University offers the above courses each Spring, they could have a time conflict or students may not be able to enroll in all of their desired classes. Students should be prepared that they may need to take a summer course after going abroad to catch up.

  5. ENGL393: Technical Writing (UMD online course)
     
  6. Out-of-Major Technical Electives - 2-credit courses must be combined to fulfill the 3-credit out-of-major Technical Elective requirement 
    1. Automotive Engines (DIM-OPT-433) (2 UMD credits)
    2. 3D Engineering Design (DIM-OPT-436) (2 UMD credits)
    3. Numerical Analysis (DMA-SAP-437) (4 UMD credits)
    4. Engineering Statistics (DOI-SAP-303) (4 UMD credits)
    5. Aerospace Electronics (DEA-OPT-438) (2 UMD credits) - Approved as in-major. Due to credit number (2), this course cannot be used to fulfill the 3-credit in-major requirement. It must be combined with another 2-credit out-of-major technical elective to fulfill the out-of-major TE requirement.
  7. General Education Course (not I-series or DSSP)
    1. DSHU: B-1 Spanish for Exchange Students (IIM-SAP-123)
    2. DVUP: Spanish Culture in Film (DOI-SAP-130)

This is a preferred aerospace engineering study abroad program because all courses are guaranteed to not have a time conflict and all UMD students will be accommodated in each of these courses. In addition, if you are not ahead in your math or physics sequencing, it is the only option available.
