Licencjat Naukowy w Inżynierii Lotniczej - Oznaczony STEM

Aerospace engineering explores both the design and manufacturing of aircraft, as well as the design and flight of vehicles beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Knowledge of aerodynamics, structures and materials, propulsion systems, and flight mechanics and controls are important to this field.

This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Aerospace engineers are primarily employed in civil aeronautics, the defense industry, and the space program. However, applications of aerospace technology are also found in related areas such as ground and undersea transportation systems, pollution control, wind power and the effects of wind on structures, and the development and use of advanced materials.
