About the Aerospace Engineering Design Lab

The Aerospace Engineering Design Lab houses up to 12 undergraduate design teams in the areas of rocketry, drone technology, aircraft technology, and turbine energy. AEDL teams travel to many parts of the United States to compete in world class engineering design competitions. 

The Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering Department has been instrumental in spearheading the initiative that has made the AEDL a reality. The AOE department provides 100% funding for space rental expenses and equipment procurement. All college and university majors, In addition to AOE students, are encouraged to participate in the team activities taking place at the facility.
