How do you ensure that a satellite is launched into the right orbit around the
earth or how do you design a micro-aircraft that can save people's lives? While
studying Aerospace Engineering you will learn all of this and much more. In order
to design, build and operate aircraft or satellites, you need to have knowledge of a
range of different disciplines and know how to combine them.
