Programme Structure

The Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering is a full time research and application focused programme. The duration of the programme will be 4 semester for those with a 3-year BEng degree or a Mechanical Engineering degree (without aeronautical specialization), and 3 semesters for those with a substantial aerospace background. Students have to choose 3 subjects from their Major Focus area, 2 subjects from their Secondary Focus area, 2 subjects from any of the Focus area and 2 subjects as Electives from any of the Engineering courses provided by GIST.

Core Modules:   §          Aerodynamics §          Flight Performance and Dynamics §          Structures and Materials §          Propulsion §          Advanced Mathematics   Three focus areas will be offered: ‘Aerodynamics and Propulsion’, ‘Structures, Materials and Systems’, and ‘Flight Mechanics and Control’:    Focus Area 1: Aerodynamics and Propulsion   §          Computational Fluid Dynamics §          Turbulent Flows §          Boundary Layer Theory §          Turbo Compressors   Focus Area 2: Structures, Materials and Systems   §          Plate and Shell Structures §          Fracture Mechanics and Non-destructive testing §          Carbon Fibre Composite Materials §          Aerosystems §          Lightweight and Aerospace Structures     Focus Area 3: Flight Mechanics and Control   §          Advanced Flight Dynamics §          Flight Control Systems §          Advanced Control of Flight Systems §          Spacecraft Technology
