Why this program?

Professional recognition

Aeronautical engineering is a major growth industry. It is about how aircraft are designed, constructed and powered, how they are used and how they are controlled for safe operation.

Our Aeronautical Engineering program adheres to global quality standards and encompasses the four fundamental domains of aerospace vehicle design: aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, flight stability, and control. This comprehensive program harmoniously integrates theoretical knowledge, practical experimentation, and simulation applications, while offering you the opportunity to specialize in cutting-edge subjects crucial to the future of aviation, extending beyond conventional passenger transport aircraft. There are many exciting challenges facing the sector, from finding environmentally sustainable methods of propulsion, to increasing automation, that allows unmanned aircraft to complete an ever-increasing range of tasks. This program will prepare you for a career tackling these challenges facing aviation today, and well into the future.

On this program, you can study topics such as computational modelling materials for aerospace, aerodynamics, aircraft propulsion, aeronautical design, control, experimental and computational fluid dynamics, among many others. These are underpinned by learning the fundamentals of engineering and analysis techniques, equipping you for a career not only in the aeronautical and automotive sectors, but many others too.

We consult closely with industry professionals so you can expect a course that’s highly relevant and equips you with sought-after skills. We offer small classes and one-on-one mentoring opportunities you may not find in a larger university.

Where?

In 2014, Carbures Europe SA became the main investor in ATLANTICA‘s capital, fostering the industry-university-research nexus involving the foundation of a technology development center in the field of materials engineering and aeronautical engineering sciences – its core business. This two-way synergy transfers knowledge from the company to the university, with the aim of training graduates and future professionals with skills that are genuinely useful to the company, while enabling the university to work closely with the company on research and technological development projects.

In two decades, Carbures has conquered the composites world and become a global Tier 2 supplier of composite parts for the aerospace industry. Much of Carbures’ growth stems from its relationship with Airbus and its ability to develop composite solutions and meet production demands.

Today, AIRTIFICIAL (former Carbures) is a leading international company in intelligent structures and collaborative robotics specialized in the manufacturing of composite parts and structures applied to various sectors such as Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, Civil Works, Energy Efficiency.
