--Astronautics Master’s Program Update--

As always this time of the year, we provide an update on the recent developments in the program Master of Science in Astronautical Engineering, or MS ASTE.

1) The Department of Astronautical Engineering (ASTE) continues its steady growth. We are reaching students all over across the United States and Canada as well as military installations abroad. During the last six years, we awarded – on average – 38 Master’s degrees annually. (Statistics on page 3.)

2) Astronautics News – pages 4–8.

3) ASTE’s Ad Astra Student Society (AASS) continues its work. For more information about the society and its programs and how to get involved, please contact AASS President Will Yu at w.yu@usc.edu (see also page 6).

4) Our professional networking group USC Astronautics Alumni, Students, Faculty, and Friends was established on LinkedIn four years ago. We have more than 480 members as of October 2013.

See http://astronauticsnow.com/astrousc_linkedin/.

We welcome not only our current ASTE students and alumni but also other USC students who took Astronautics graduate courses and friends and supporters of the program from industry, government centers, and space advocacy groups.

5) As always we provide in this document a long-term course schedule and other information of interest to our current and future students. Please always check with Astronautics Student Affairs the near-term course schedule.

MS ASTE – Statistics The Department of Astronautical Engineering continues its steady growth.

We are reaching students all over across the United States and Canada as well as military installations abroad.

During the last six years, we awarded – on average – 38 Master’s degrees annually.

• National statistics (American Society of Engineering Education – ASEE) combines students in astronautical, aeronautical, and aerospace engineering in one broad group (>50 departments in the United States)

• In AY 2011-2012, USC MS ASTE program accounted for 2.7% of national enrollment in this broad aerospace/astronautical/aeronautical group

More than 260degrees MS in ASTE awarded from 2005-2012 (38 annually during 6 years)

3.3% nationally awarded

2012/2013 SCampus Student Guidebook profiled ASTE student Emily Schubert.

Emily graduated with the Bachelor of Science degree in Astronautical Engineering in Spring 2013.

USC Viterbi Astronautical Engineering student Jason Silverman received a $10,000 Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) scholarship on Oct. 3, presented to him by Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham.

Jason is on the Progressive Degree track, which allows students to graduate with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in astronautical engineering.

In competition for NASA astronaut selection

ASTE’s Alejandro R. Diaz received his PhD in Astronautical Engineering in 2012. (Dissertation: Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Emergency Aid for Extended Planetary Surface Missions: Through-the-Spacesuit Intravenous (IV) Administration)

Dr. Diaz was selected as a Finalist Interviewee during this year's NASA Astronaut Selection Process. Last year, NASA received over 6,300 applications and after several down-selects and interviews, which included medical, psychological and physical examinations, Alex was selected as part of the 50 finalists, from which NASA selected 8 astronauts in July. Though Dr. Diaz was not selected this time around, he plans to apply again in the future.

Per aspera ad astra!

The Rocket Propulsion Lab attempted to launch a rocket to the highly ambitious 300,000 feet on September 21, 2013. After successful liftoff, the rocket malfunctioned at the 5000-ft altitude. As old rocket hands would emphasize, it is already a success if nobody got hurt. The students plan to repeat the launch in the near future.

When successful it will likely be the highest altitude achieved by a rocket built by students.

Limited Status Enrollment

Limited enrollment is to provide strong candidates for admission the opportunity to get started, without having to wait for the next admissions cycle. Strong candidacy is indicated by a B.S. in engineering or science from a regionally-accredited institution with a GPA of 3.00 or above. Students who do not meet these standards must apply for admission where their GPA, transcripts, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation will be evaluated by admissions officers and faculty.

Limited-status students can take up to three (3) courses. These courses will be credited, after formal admission to the program, toward the Master's degree in Astronautical Engineering (MS ASTE).

Students who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree should not delay their application. We have a number of limited-status students in the program.

Admission

Applicants will be notified once a decision has been reached by ASTE Search Committee. Admitted applicants will receive further information about advisement, housing, orientations, and campus tour.

Conditional Admission

Applicants who do not meet admission qualifications may be granted conditional admission. Conditionally admitted student will be notified in writing of their admission status and of the conditions which must be satisfied to gain regular student status. Students must satisfy the admission conditions typically during the first semester of study.
