Abstract	The MAE department has grown significantly since it was founded in January 1999, and now has about 150 undergraduate and 100 graduate majors. The faculty is currently comprised of six tenured or tenure track and two non-tenure track faculty, with another new faculty member to join this summer. Areas of research expertise include solid and fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, atmospheric modeling, dynamic systems and control, thermodynamics and energy conversion, and design. Two specific project were highlighted. The first was an Army-funded multidisciplinary study of the station-keeping performance of a large high-altitude airship. The second was a student project addressing autonomous navigation and guidance of UAVs, which includes the development and in-flight demonstration of a fully autonomous air vehicle.
