BA/BS in Aircraft Engineering

The Department of Aircraft Engineering is part of the College of Engineering at Al-Turath University. It is concerned with the design, development and maintenance of aircraft and other air vehicles, and it trains engineers for the aviation industry. The programme runs for five years and is delivered with six specialised laboratories. Students study aerodynamics, aircraft structures, propulsion systems and avionics electronics. The department's goals include preparing engineers with specialist knowledge of aviation science, teaching modern design and manufacturing techniques, building research capacity in aeronautical engineering and cooperating with institutions active in the aviation field. Graduates can pursue careers with airlines, in the maintenance and operation of civil aircraft, with air force and military engineering units, at airports, in the management of technical systems, and in the manufacture of aircraft spare parts.
