Overview

The Aerospace Engineering (AERO) program is a multidisciplinary engineering theme aiming to graduate engineers with strong technical background in aerospace engineering and aviation industry while addressing the impact of the industry on the society, economy and environment. The program involves different aspects of aeronautics and astronautics. It emphasizes the following themes: • Aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, aircraft propulsion, aeroelasticity and flight loads. • Aircraft structures, materials and manufacturing. • Aircraft design, flight mechanics, flight performance, aircraft dynamics, stability and control. • Space environment and missions, attitude control and telecommunications, orbital mechanics, spacecraft engineering design and integration, and spacecraft propulsion. • Aviation regulations and certification, aviation management, airport operation, aviation security awareness. The program’s objective is to generate well-educated and qualified graduates who are able to support, develop and expand the aerospace industry within the United Arab Emirates and the region.
