Aerospace Engineering Program in IAU

Aerospace engineering is defined as a branch of engineering that deals with the science of design, analysis, and construction of aircraft and spacecraft and its systems. It is divided into two overlapping branches namely, Aeronautical Engineering, which deals mostly with crafts that operate within the Earth’s atmosphere, and Astronautical Engineering, which deals with crafts that operates beyond the atmosphere into the outer space. Aerospace engineering is also sometimes referred to as “rocket science.”

A study in aerospace engineering usually includes an in-depth learning of mechanics and physics of fluids, aircraft and spacecraft structures and materials, instrumentation, control and estimation, human and automation, propulsion and energy conservation, and aeronautical and astronautical systems.

After your five years of education in Indiana Aerospace University (IAU), you should be able to conceptualize technical problems and their solutions, design: study and comprehend processes that lead to solutions, develop, and test the results of research, development and designs. At the same time, you would be adept in research, manufacturing, operation and maintenance, marketing and sales, and management.

As an aerospace engineer, what are your possible career options after graduation? In the answer lies the good news. Aerospace engineers work in just anywhere – employed in a variety of industries, among them:

· Commercial airline companies (PAL, Cebu Pacific, Boeing, Airbus, etc)

· Aerospace industry

· Academia

· Government (CAAP, DND, Congress, etc)

· Communications industry (communication satellites, GPS, etc)

· Automotive industry

· Manufacturing

· Computer industry (software and hardware)

· Entrepreneurs

· Law firms

· Medicine

By now, you would have been convinced to become an aerospace engineer. Companies hire the best ones, so, how would you become the best? The following desired engineer attributes should guide you in your studies:

· A good grasps of the core engineering science fundamentals (mathematics, statistics, IT, physics).

· A good understanding of the design and manufacturing processes.

· An understanding of the context in which engineering is practiced i.e. history, environment, business and the society.

· A multidisciplinary system perspective (looking beyond aerospace engineering and respecting other disciplines)

· Good overall communication skills.

· High ethical standards.

· Possesses a profound understanding of the importance of teamwork.

· Curiosity and a lifelong desire to learn.

· Has an ability to think critically and creatively as an individual and in a team.

As the space age progresses, it needs young curious minds like yours. Be part of the trailblazers and help propel humanity deeper into the last frontier. Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering is right for you.
