You may know Wichita is considered the "Air Capital of the World." You may know nearly every major aviation company including from Airbus to Spirit AeroSystems to Textron Aviation all have production or engineering facilities in Wichita. You probably know that Wichita State has an aerospace engineering  program that has graduated thousands of engineers that work in those companies.

You may not know, though, that Wichita State’s program is ranked first among ALL United States universities in industry-funded aerospace research and development, according to the National Science Foundation. That’s right, Wichita State is ranked ahead of schools such as MIT, Texas A&M and Purdue.
