The B.Sc. in Aeronautical Engineering (B.Sc. AeroE) is an interdisciplinary applied degree with learning outcomes closely linked to the labor market. The program provides students with the knowledge, skills and competencies needed for a career in the Aeronautical Engineering industry. Aeronautical Engineering is the operation, maintenance and monitoring of mechanical systems aboard aircrafts.
This program is designed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge and skills to develop their professional competence for working within the aeronautical engineering technology field —whether in industry, solution providers, or governmental roles. Graduates are prepared to work in the design, manufacturing, maintenance, and repair of military and civil aircraft, as well as in aviation enterprises. Additionally, they are able to conduct research and apply studies related to aircraft and aviation. Graduates apply knowledge of design, development, operation and maintenance of aircraft systems, and they utilize basic concepts of management topics such as economics, business, communications, leadership, engineering management, and cost control in the field of Aeronautical Engineering. Finally, the program involves the application of different engineering fields, including computer science, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and mechanical engineering.
