Key Summary
Important Aeronautical multinationals and a vibrant, specialized Aerospace ecosystem of SMEs are present in the University’s neighborhood such as Leonardo’s Aircrafts and Helicopters divisions and AVIO GE. The Apulian Regional Aeronautics District is located at the same premises in which the Course is held. In such a context, Aerospace Engineering provides all theoretical and practical knowledge on the whole set of topics relating to the Aerospace field, i.e. Flight Mechanics (both Atmospheric and Spatial), Aerospace Structures and Construction; Aerospace Systems and Installations, Fluid Dynamics, Aerospace Propulsion and Industrial Engineering Design and Methods.
The Course is organized to offer its students the choice among three tracks: Aerospace Design, Aerospace Technology, and Aerospace Systems each providing a high level of interdisciplinary teaching ensured by topics common to all tracks and related to: material sciences and technologies, energetic systems and related environmental impact, mechanical, management and electrical engineering disciplines, automation, and information engineering.
Particularly, graduates may be enrolled in engineering companies and stakeholders dealing with the design of civil and industrial facilities (e.g. public infrastructures, energy production plants etc.) aimed at resilience enhancement, with a focus on sustainability from economic and environmental safety standpoint. The acquired skills will also ease enrolment in national and international public administrations managing critical infrastructures, networks, buildings and complex systems. Lastly, job opportunities will be found in research facilities to carry out anthropogenic and natural hazard-related risk assessment and mitigation methods.
