- Here at U-M's Aerospace deptartment, I am getting my MSE (Aerospace) with a
- concentration in flight dynamics, and personally, I am concentrating in orbital
- mechanics. It is not "official," i guess, but I would say I was getting my
- degree in orbital mechanics. But then again, an MSE can almost be considered
- a specialized BSE.
