Aerospace Engineering Undergraduate Program

 

 

The faculty provides a four-year undergraduate study program that leads to a “Master of Science in Aerospace and Space Engineering” degree. We encourage those who wish to delve deeper into their studies, especially in the scientific domain, to pursue second (master’s) and doctoral degrees, with or without a thesis.

The curriculum includes gaining knowledge and skills in fundamental sciences, engineering, and aerospace and space-related disciplines.

 

  • Aeronautics
  • Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics
  • Structures
  • Propulsion and Energy Conversion
  • Guidance, Navigation and Control
  • Space Engineering
  • Design
  • Systems Engineering

 

 

 

The AE department provides its students with the knowledge, tools, and the possibility to integrate into the most advanced fields of science, technology, and engineering. The wide variety of options open to aeronautics and space engineers allows them to choose the field in which they can express their interest and passion.

 

A three levels curriculum

The first level, studied in the first three semesters, provides basic knowledge in the basic subjects: mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science.

 

The second tier includes mandatory faculty subjects. In the joint aero-physics engineering track, the compulsory subjects also include courses from the physics faculty’s curricula. In this layer, you get basic knowledge in each of the faculty’s basic areas of specialization.

 

In the third tier of the curriculum are the faculty elective subjects, in which one specializes in a more in-depth manner according to personal choice. In the last year of studies, the students carry out, according to their choice, a project in which a complex system is developed from the fields of aeronautics or space (plane, missile, satellite, etc.) In addition, the students participate in advanced laboratories and thereby acquire practical experience in their field.

 

The curriculum also includes 12 points of all-Technion elective subjects, of which 6 points are enrichment subjects (M.L.G. courses), 2 points are physical education subjects, and 4 points are subjects for the student to freely choose from among all the subjects offered at the Technion, subject to the registration rules for the subject.

 

Note: As our undergraduate studies are mostly in Hebrew. The PDF documents below are all in Hebrew. Please contact the Undergraduate Studies Coordinator, Ms. Dafna Hershko  for further details.
