We provide students with the basis for an Aerospace Engineering career through a broad scientific basis in the first three semesters, followed by the fundamentals of all significant aeronautical and astronautical disciplines.
Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering Studies
The department’s undergraduate program provides its students with the basis for an engineering career in Israel’s aerospace industry and for developing professional skills. This objective is achieved by a broad scientific basis in the first three semesters, followed by the fundamentals of all significant aeronautical and astronautical disciplines.
These include aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, control theory, production and design, systems engineering, and space engineering. In their fourth year, a broad spectrum of elective courses is offered to expose the students to modern aerospace developments, including computer applications in aeronautics and astronautics. The senior year is also devoted to a design project, dedicated to a comprehensive design of an aerospace system.
Graduate Studies in Aerospace Engineering
The Department of Aerospace Engineering offers a comprehensive range of graduate programs. Our offerings include:
Research-focused degrees:
Professional development:
These programs are designed to advance your expertise in the field, whether you’re pursuing cutting-edge research or enhancing your professional skills in the aerospace industry.
Experience has shown that the educational strategy of the department amply prepares its students to find their place in any advanced engineering or scientific activity. Within this broad range of potential actions, a department graduate can choose the field best suited to their leanings. Indeed, aerospace engineers can work in experimental research, developing software for aeronautical and space applications, in theoretical/mathematical aspects of aerospace sciences, in system design, or in leading aerospace projects of all kinds. Moreover, graduates of the department of Aerospace Engineering are suited for jobs requiring knowledge or a background in systems engineering. Thus, graduates may also be found at all levels in high-tech projects that are not directly related to Aerospace Engineering.
Since 1956 the department of Aerospace Engineering has offered a wide range of graduate studies toward advanced degrees. Fields of study include:
- Aerodynamics
- Aeroelasticity
