OSSM opens Center for Advanced Aerospace Engineering
The Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics opened the Center for Advanced Aerospace Engineering, a dedicated campus space where students will collaborate with engineers from Oklahoma State University’s Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education. As part of the OSSM Mentorship Program, juniors and seniors will work on real-world aerospace projects, applying classroom knowledge to emerging technologies. A key feature of the program allows students to build a quadcopter from scratch, giving them hands-on experience in design, engineering and problem-solving. The new center underscores OSSM’s commitment to experiential learning by giving students the opportunity to explore the future of aerospace design and technology alongside leading researchers.
