Outstanding graduates. As a graduate of the CU Aerospace Engineering Sciences program, you are part of a distinguished group of aerospace leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs. Many AES alumni play key roles in the design of complex aerospace systems, and have established distinguished careers in both the public and private sectors. In fact, CU-Boulder ranks among the top five U.S. universities (excluding military academies) in its number of astronaut alumni.  We are proud to count you among us.

“We Want Our Future” is an ambitious outreach initiative, developed by aerospace graduate students, aimed at getting students of all ages excited about their future in space. The project goal is to collect 100,000 postcards, challenging students to depict their dreams for the future. We invite your participation to help the next generation to envision themselves exploring beyond the atmosphere of Earth by accepting the challenge of learning science, technology, engineering and math. As an aerospace graduate, you embody what these students would strive to become. See www.WeWantOurFuture.org to see how you can get involved.

 

On November 16, 2009, Aerospace Engineering Sciences(AES) held a "Class Reunion" for 1967-1971 graduates. Alumni met the Dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science, and viewed presentations by the AES Chair and select faculty. A reception held by alumnus Chris Finnoff and his wife, Pat, followed a tour of the Discovery Learning Center and the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory (ITLL) with Trudy Schwartz (see photos below).  .
