Program Description

The two-year undergraduate degree course in Aerospace Engineering, taught in English, was activated in the 2013-14 academic year, stemming from the pre-existing LM course in Aerospace Engineering, active until the 2012-13 academic year.

The teaching activities take place in the Brindisi campus of the University of Salento.

The planned educational pathway is divided into two addresses, with 11 examinations (6 of which are shared):
The Aerospace Design address ensures specialist training for those coming from a first level industrial background (mechanics, management, materiaili, etc.).
The Aerospace System Engineering address is aimed at those who have already had aerospace-oriented training in the first three years, i.e. have already acquired basic skills in fluid dynamics and flight mechanics.
Common training is provided for courses that ensure/complete that training which is useful for both addresses, in order to acquire theoretical, practical and experimental skills on:
- Aeronautical and Space Propulsion
- Aeronautical Engines
- Aerodynamics and Gasdynamics,
- Aerospace Structures
- CAD for Aerospace Applications
- Flight Mechanics and Dynamics

The possibility of choosing a seventh examination concerning aerospace engineering is also common.
Those who choose the Aerospace Design pathway
- will gain the skills and knowledge required for the specific profile of the aerospace engineer who designs or participates in the development of atmospheric and space vehicles (from mission requirements to configuration, from design to the dimensioning of structural elements, from the definition of the propulsion system to its integration);
- they will learn the use of numerical analysis tools for design and simulation;
- they will deepen their knowledge of Aerospace Construction and Flight Mechanics, in order to achieve advanced design skills in the aerospace field of innovative and unconventional configurations;
- they will acquire skills concerning the development and use of composite materials, manufacturing technologies, etc.
Those pursuing Aerospace Systems Engineering will acquire skills and knowledge on
- avionics systems and on-board electronics;
- control systems;
- sensors and their integration;
- energy storage issues (batteries).
The presence of baskets in both courses will give students the opportunity to choose how to complete their education on topics relating to aerospace production and/or industry regulations.
In order to develop and broaden the student's aptitude for dealing with real-life cases, several courses (e.g. Aerospace Propulsion, Aircraft Design, Numerical Methods, etc.) include a year-long paper, in some cases a multidisciplinary one. All courses are subject to a final examination with a grade expressed in thirtieths.
The training cycle is completed by an internship (150 hours) and the final dissertation, both of which take place in the second semester of the second year.
