The goals of the Aerospace Engineering programme are:

• to provide comprehensive aeronautical engineering education that develops in students the fundamental skills necessary for the design, analysis, synthesis and research of aircraft, spacecraft and other high technology flight systems, and
• to prepare students for various professions in aeronautical engineering and related fields by developing in them the attributes needed to make significant contributions to the society and to the engineering community, both now and in the future.

The educational objectives of the Aerospace Engineering programme are to produce graduates whose expected acquired skills, competences and knowledge should be sufficient to ensure their successful careers in industry, private practice or government, or to enable them to pursue advanced postgraduate studies. Graduates of this department will be skilled practitioners who apply their knowledge and technical skills to solve relevant engineering problems both in the aeronautical or related professions.
