The information and program qualifications related to the Aeronautical Engineering Bachelor of Science Program, under the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of the Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, are summarized below.
Information About The Program
eronautical Engineering Department is aimed to educate engineers for the design and manufacturing of the new aircrafts developed by Turkish aviation industry, and also maintenance of civil and military aircrafts. the department also undertakes the necessary research and application on the relatede fields.
Aeronautical Engineering Department founded in 1941 under the Mechanical Engineering Department as a branch giving Aeronautical Engineering degree, and in 1944, became a separate department in the Mechanical Engineering Faculty. With the establishment of Faculty of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, it was joined to this faculty and is still continuing its activities under this faculty. 10 professors, (1 foreigners), 2 Associate Professors, 6 Assistant Professor, 4 Lecturer and 9 Research Assistants form the current staff. Until today, 1937 students have been graduated from the undergraduate program and now in the English preparation school and 1,2,3, and 4. grades 411 bachelor science degree students are enrolled. Every year 50 students from the first 3% through the nationwide entrance exam are accepted.
Within the ERASMUS Program there are agrrements with European universities such as Germany (Technische Universitat München, RWTH Aachen, Universität Stuttgart, Fachhochschule Düsseldorf), France (Institute Polytechnique des Sciences Avancees (IPSA)), Spain (Universidad de Sevilla, Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya (ETSEIAT)), Italy (Politecnico di Torino, Politecnico di Milano, Università degli Studi di Perugia, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II), Poland (Warsaw University of Technology) snd Greece (University of Patras). Eleven students are pursuing their some part of education in the universities mentioned above in recent two years.
The BS in aeronautical engineering degree program is accredited by ABET(Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).
