Dr. Kurt Rouser graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1995. He immediately entered active-duty service as an Aerospace Engineer, where he worked on rockets and jet engines. After more than 20 years of service, he retired from the Air Force in 2016. His love of interacting with others and desire to share his real-world experience led him to becoming a professor in Oklahoma State University's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering program, specializing in aerospace propulsion and power.
