B.Sc. Aerospace Engineering*
This program lays the foundation for the core aerospace engineering discipline while engaging students to study and understand how engineering fits within the overall global aerospace profession and industry. Principles of science and engineering are applied to design and analysis of flight vehicles and related systems in well-designed course sequences to ensure that students gain hands on experience in developing flight vehicles from concept to design, including the fabrication and testing process. Using advanced computer modeling and simulations, as well as hands-on laboratories and real life projects, students will have the tools to contribute immediately to the aerospace industry.
The Aerospace Engineering program will be offered only at the Abu Dhabi campus.
