In this video I discuss "What is aerospace engineering?" The aerospace engineering major can be broken up into two main branches, aeronautics and astronautics. This video will focus on astronautics which is the design of things that...

The earliest versions of The Steam Engine date back to Roman Egypt. But It wasn’t until advancements in the design by inventors like Thomas Savery and Thomas Newcomen, that the power of steam transformed the world. Based on an earlier...

Engineering the swimming maneuvers of sea lions could advance underwater robotics



Megan Leftwich and her students at George Washington University are conducting a comprehensive field study on the high-performance...

This video explains how rockets work based on Newton's third law of motion. Explore the action and reaction forces generated by the rocket's engines, the use of fuel to achieve escape velocity, and the different types of fuel engines.

NASA gave the company a contract worth up to 84.5 million dollars to help develop the propulsion system that will be used to power the Mars Ascent Vehicle. <br/>

Computer science majors have to learn a different kind of math compared to MOST other majors (with the exception of math majors, plus computer and software engineers). This kind of math is important especially for...

Alejandro Arambula is an aerospace engineering student at M.I.T. and a summer intern in the Propulsion Lab. This summer he is working with his mentor Khary Parker in building a test assembly for a specific zone of the propulsion...
