Digital Engineering
Digital engineering is an essential and transformative approach at the heart of our research and development activities at the Aerospace Center. By digitally interconnecting every phase of a system's lifecycle—from initial concept and design through manufacturing, operational deployment, and eventual retirement—digital engineering empowers our researchers and students to achieve unprecedented efficiency, agility, and innovation, launching us beyond traditional boundaries into new frontiers of possibility.
As the aerospace and defense sectors increasingly adopt digital engineering practices, particularly aligned with the Department of Defense's strategic vision, cultivating expertise in digital workflows is critical. The Aerospace Center addresses this imperative by integrating digital engineering methodologies throughout its educational and research projects, ensuring students gain hands-on experience through comprehensive eDesigning, eBuilding, and eTesting activities.
Through this digitally integrated framework, students and researchers collaboratively tackle real-world challenges, propelling advancements in aerospace and defense technologies toward stellar heights. Ultimately, our emphasis on digital engineering positions our graduates as leaders capable of spearheading digital transformations and significantly contributing to the evolution and exploration of future aerospace and defense systems.
