Master en Sciences et Technologies Aérospatiales

The aerospace engineering program is acknowledged to be among the top leading programs in aerospace engineering in China. Based on main subjects of aerospace science and technology, mechanics, control science and engineering and mechanical engineering, the program aims to cultivate well-grounded, creative, practical and well-round talents.

Students will gather extensive and solid basic disciplines such as vehicle overall design, the structural design of aircraft, aircraft flight dynamics and control, and vehicle propulsion system and design theory, and have a capability to conduct such work as theory research, engineering design and development, and technical management.

Graduates will primarily be employed in aerospace engineering-related research institutions, universities and enterprises to perform theoretical research, experimental research, technology development and technology management.

The core courses include: Theoretical Mechanics, Material Mechanics, Structural Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Flight Dynamics, Mechanical Design, Mechanical Manufacture, Structural Design, Spacecraft System Design, Principle of Microcomputers, Automatic Control Theory, Aerospace Control Theory, Aerospace Propulsion Theory, and Measurement Technology.

In 1940, Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), the first science and engineering university was founded in Yan’an by the Communist Party of China. It has been one of the key universities in China since the founding of New China and the first batch of universities which has entered the national “211 Project”, “985 Project” and the “Top A World-class University”. The name of BIT was inscribed by Chairman Mao, and Li Fuchun, Xu Teli, Li Qiang and other older generations of proletarian revolutionists successively took the lead of the university. The university is now affiliated to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. All the faculty members and students are striving for the goal of “two hundred years” of the national standard, and are fully committed to the goal of building a world-class university with Chinese characteristics.
