The aeronautical 4 years Full -
engineering degree Time
programme covers
research, design,
development, construction,
testing, science and
modification of the
components and systems
of flight vehicles. The
3 “A” level passes in programme is divided into
Mathematics, two specialties; Aviation
BSc Honours Physics and Mechanics and Avionics.
Aeronautical Chemistry/Technical
Topics that are covered
Engineering Drawing/Computing under these specializations
(Avionics) Science include: Aerodynamics,
Propulsion, Control and
Stability, Avionics,
Navigation and Structures.
Graduates in Aeronautical
engineering will apply
scientific, technological
and mathematical
principles to research,
develop, maintain and test
the
performance of aircraft.
They will also work on
modifying the different
components that make up
these aircraft and systems.
The main aims are to
improve flight safety, to
improve fuel efficiency, to
reduce system costs and
to address the
environmental impact of air
travel.
Graduates of the program
will have the professional
and scientific education
that allows them to pursue
careers in a wide range of
aircraft opportunities.
