Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech. The Institute had been asked to instruct U.S.
The School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the oldest – and largest – educational programs of its kind in the country. Army personnel in aviation matters as early as 1917. A stand-alone department was formed in 1930 after receiving the seventh – and last – grant from the Daniel Guggenheim fund. Known then as the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, its name was officially changed to the School of Aerospace Engineering on July 1, 1962.

Georgia Tech aerospace engineering student Elise Regalado is taking on 70.3 Boise, and turning every mile into momentum for something bigger.
While training for a 70.3-mile race (1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, 13.1-mile run), Elise is also raising $5,000 to support for women pursuing .
From logging 50–90 training miles a week on campus to applying aerodynamics principles on the bike, she’s proving that engineering and endurance go hand in hand.

What if the smartest robots don’t rely on code, sensors, or even electronics?
researchers are rethinking what “intelligence” means in robotics—by building robotic swarms whose behavior emerges entirely from mechanical design.
No processors. No . No software. Instead, intelligence is encoded in shape, structure, and interaction.
Led by Bolei Deng and researchers in the AE School, this work shows how simple units can exhibit complex, coordinated behavior when designed to respond physically to their environment.

We’re dreaming of a new home for GT Aerospace, and The Delta Air Lines Foundation is helping us move it closer to reality.
The Foundation is committing $5 million to the project, which could look something like this.
The new building will elevate one of the nation’s top-ranked aerospace programs, fuel Georgia’s economy, and accelerate innovation across the aviation industry.
