Aerospace engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder initially began as an option within the university’s mechanical engineering program in 1930. In 1946, it was split off and became the Department of Aeronautical Engineering under the leadership of aerospace education pioneer Karl Dawson Wood , who served as its first chair.
Storm Bull, Professor Emeritus at the College of Music and Head of the Division of Piano; Adolf Busemann, pioneering aerospace engineer; Sarvadaman Chowla, mathematician; Ward Churchill, former ethnic studies professor noted for inflammatory statements dealing with 9/11, dismissed from CU-Boulder 2007
He left OU in 1992 to accept a similar faculty position at the University of Colorado Boulder's (CU Boulder) Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences. Upon joining the faculty, Argrow's research team was the first to verify the method of osculating cones for supersonic waverider design.
CCAR was founded by professor George Born who served as Director for 28 years and Director Emeritus until his death in 2016. Born joined University of Colorado at Boulder after working on high-profile missions like TOPEX/Poseidon, Seasat, Mariner 9 and the Viking program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory during the 1970s.
