Aeronautics and Astronautics:

Science Description :

Our mission is to prepare engineers for success and leadership in the Conception, Design, Implementation, and Operation (CDIO) of aerospace and related complex, high-performance systems. We intend to create a new integrated education, the goals of which are:
- To provide students with a deep working knowledge of the technical fundamentals;
- To educate engineers to be leaders in the creation and operation of new products and systems;
- To instill in researchers an understanding of the importance and strategic value of their work.
