Dept. of Aerospace Eng.

Our department deals with aerospace engineering which is the branch of engineering behind the design, construction, maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft and spacecraft. This department synthesizes the whole basic fields for aerospace engineering education such as control, material and structural, propulsion, and fluid mechanics. The students begin with the fundamental courses in multidisciplinary engineering and science fields and then deepen aerospace engineering knowledge through major course works. Therefore, in addition to aerospace engineering itself, our department graduates will acquire lots of excellent transferable technology and skill in the other engineering industries. For the graduate school, this department has 9 multidisciplinary laboratories in which the graduate students are carrying out many advanced researches. The final goal of this department is to develop human resources who can play an important role in Korean aerospace industry and defense development.

* What do I study

The undergraduate students begin with the mathematics and physics, fundamental mechanics and measurement technology. After that, the undergraduate students study about aerospace vehicle design, system control, mechatronics, composites, propulsion, combustion, aerodynamics, wind tunnel testing, structural analysis and health monitoring. Graduate students study aerodynamics for flight, computer fluid flow analysis, jet propulsion, design of flight body, and the development of new material. Moreover, flight dynamics and control, design and control of spacecrafts, and topics for space machines and robots are also included in the curriculum.

The graduates may work in research institutes such as Korea Aerospace Research Institute, Agency for Defense Development, in aerospace companies such as Korean Air, Korea Aerospace Industries, DACC and in other heavy, energy and IT companies based on the acquired excellent transferable engineering knowledge.
