Program Description

Aerospace Engineering is a modern area that exemplifies the need for interdisciplinary problem solving and the mind for innovation. Aerospace Engineering is also an area of national strategic importance and high priority for growth. The Aerospace Engineering bachelor program at SUSTech is led by the Member of Chinese National Academy of Engineering, and the faculty consists of several renowned scholars. Major areas include aircraft design and engineering, aircraft propulsion, and aircraft manufacturing. The design and analysis of Aerospace Engineering relies on solid grasp of broad subjects of mechanics, heat transfer, material science, and electronics; the proficient knowledge of these subjects are applicable in other areas such as mechanical engineering and civil engineering. The students trained by the Aerospace Engineering program are expected to establish solid foundations of mathematics and mechanics, as well as deep understanding of basic aircraft design theory, strong capabilities in structural analysis, and good hands-on skills.

Note: 1. If the number of students entering a major at the end of the first academic year in the department is greater than or equal to the total number of the teaching-research faculty (PI)260%, all majors in the department may implement the prerequisites for major declaration at the end of the second academic year. 2. If the number of students entering a major at the end of the first academic year in the department is less than the total number of the teaching-research faculty (PI)260%, all majors in the department do not implement the prerequisites for major declaration at the end of the second academic year. 3. Suppose the number of students applying for a major at the end of the first academic year exceeds four times the total number of the teaching-research faculty (PI), then the department may select students according to predetermined rules. In principle, the rules set by the department shall examine the students’ suitability for the major and not based on weighted GPA (Specific rules shall be set by the department and announced in advance). 4. For departments that do not implement prerequisites for major declaration at end of the second academic year, if the cumulative number of students applying for a major at the end of the second academic year and the number of students who have entered a major at the end of the first academic year exceeds four times the total number of the teaching-research faculty (PI), the department may select students according to predetermined rules. In principle, the rules set by the department shall examine the students’ suitability for the major and not based on weighted GPA (Specific rules shall be set by the department and announced in advance).
