<p>What’s the best hands-on aerospace engineering school overall?</p>

2

<p>If you’re talking about actually working on aerospace systems and technologies, the US Air Force Academy is probably up there.</p>

3

<p>one of the embry-riddle campuses.</p>

4

<p>CalPoly SLO</p>

<p>Take a serious look at <a href=“http://www.wichita.edu/thisis/home/?u=aero_eng”>http://www.wichita.edu/thisis/home/?u=aero_eng&lt;/a&gt; … their hands on programs are pretty impressive. NIAR is based there, they have a wind tunnel on campus - if you do research they will compete and the price is affordable even for OOS.</p>

6

<p>Wright State University and U Dayton. Internships with the Air Force Research Labs.</p>

<p>I went to ER-Prescott (Aero Engineering) and can tell you that the program is very theory-based, and rigorous. The only “hands-on” experience involved the usual labs (physics, chemistry, materials, etc), as well as the senior project which was a mix of theory (preliminary design), and constructing (detail design). </p>

<p>That said, it is a fantastic school and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Aerospace Engineering.</p>
