About United States Military Academy (USMA) and Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE)
The United States Military Academy’s mission is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character, committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country. USMA is the oldest engineering school in the nation and is situated 55 miles north of New York City in the picturesque Hudson Valley. USMA’s rigorous programs, quality faculty, and student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1 attract a student body of 4,400 of the nation’s best.
The Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE) aims to build, educate, and inspire commissioned leaders of character who leverage engineering and professionalism to design and implement innovative solutions to win in complex environments. MAE's vision is to be the model learning community with preeminent undergraduate mechanical and aerospace engineering programs.
Aerospace engineering is crucial for developing and testing prototypes of aircraft and spacecraft. Mechanical engineers can work across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, robotics, energy, and transportation. They also are involved in many aspects of the aerospace industry, including the design and development of aircraft, spacecraft, and related components.
About Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP)
The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Scientists and Engineers at the CCDC Army Research Laboratory (ARL) help shape and execute the Army's program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields such as: applied mathematics, atmospheric characterization, simulation and human modeling, digital/optical signal processing, nanotechnology, material science and technology, multifunctional technology, combustion processes, propulsion and flight physics, communication and networking, and computational and information sciences.
