<p>Are there any aerospace science and engineering students out there who can comment on what it means that this department isn’t ABET accredited?</p>
<p>the only possible reason i can think of is that maybe it is a new program?</p>
<p>it was aeronautical (i am class of 2012 and i am allowed to keep this as my current major) until like last year, which is accredited. i have no idea why they are changing the name. as far as i can tell, the course reqs are exactly the same. it appears that the other UC’s with aero have followed suit as well.</p>
<p>the mech program is still fully accredite however</p>
<p>my advisor told me today that the reason for the name change is that some of the faculty/courses involved space-related things. course req’s are the same.</p>
