Aerospace engineering training: universities experience

Abstract

Abstract. Contemporary professional working in aerospace engineering must have a set of soft and hard skills. The experience gained in universities shows that training of a competent professional is impossible without an employer involved in this process. The paper provides an analysis of missions, tasks and experience of aerospace professionals and identifies the present and future roles, missions and required skills of a highly qualified specialist in aerospace engineering. This analysis can be used to design a master's program aiming at providing students with the required knowledge, know-how and attitudes needed to succeed as professionals in industrial companies.

Does a University graduate need a portfolio?

“…This improves the social responsibility of the subjects of educational activities and is beneficial for University image. Part 2, named «Educational part» includes educational projects (Description and achievements) according to CDIO initiative [3][4][5][6].…”

The Role of Pegasus in the European Aeronautics and Space Universities Exchange of Students and Professors

“…For achieving the best results, the exchange should be as wide as possible taking into account partners even from beyond the PeGASUS network. exchange enables to share experiences different for every partner, meet cultural differences and improve communication, get to know new approaches for scientific problem-solving, combine unique know-how of the partners and many more benefits [1,2]. the strategic line is, from an internal perspective, to improve the quality of the partners' educational process and curricula to specifically serve the aerospace industry's needs, which are changing [3][4][5].…”

Modification of polymeric materials for 3D printing of external panels of nanosatellites

“…One of the active developing areas of spacecraft engineering [1][2] attracting large investments is the creation of miniature satellites or nanosatellites (spacecraft weighing 1-10 kg) including the so-called "student" satellites. These satellites as usual are made base on 'CubeSat' standard.…”
