Master of Science in Aeronautical and Space Systems

Transcription

1 msc aess Master of Science in Aeronautical and Space Systems Aims To support its steadily growing and to maintain business competitiveness, the global aerospace industry needs high qualified engineers or researchers. Design complex aerospace systems involve multinational geographically disseminated teams of project managers or various experts working in collaborative environment through integrated development platform tools. The Master Aeronautical and Space Systems (AESS) is intended to educate graduate students in subjects relevant to these demanding challenges and needs of the industry. The MSc AESS is designed to be multidisciplinary preparing future engineers to easily and efficiently work on aeronautical systems, space systems and their applications or embedded systems, with emphasis on the complete life cycle of the system. With a large spectrum of knowledge the MSc AESS allows students to tackle various aspects from design to operations of systems either in a research organism or in an aerospace company in a multinational environment. The MSc AESS consists of a total of 4 semesters of 30 ECTS each, i.e. 120 ECTS credits for the whole program. The MSc AESS starts with a first semester emphasizing aerospace engineering fundamentals, and then continues towards two main majors during semester two: «Avionics» and «Aircraft control». During semester three students emphasize on one major among four: Aircraft Systems, Embedded Systems, Space Applications and Space Systems. Students have strong opportunities to develop practical skills through personal research projects in ISAE s laboratories and professional thesis during internships in aerospace industry.

They are taught in English. The MSc AESS program includes three-semester academic session, in ISAE s premises, provided by permanent professors and experts from aerospace industry bringing current knowledge and experience, including: lectures, tutorials, case study, personal project in laboratory and industrial visits. The last semester consists in master thesis to be performed in a company or a laboratory in the aerospace sector. After the project, students having obtained 120 credits under examination will be awarded the Master of Science in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics from ISAE.

3 msc aess Master of Science in Aeronautical and Space Systems testimonies SUNDAY Cecily, USA, student MSc AMA I applied to the ISAE master s program because I was looking for a graduate school that would provide me with both a strong academic and personal challenge. In the end, I chose this program over my other options because it best satisfied these two goals. On one hand, the academic schedule, which includes a balance of lecture, research, and work components, matched my subject interests and learning objectives. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a foreign language and experience first-hand a different culture. Consequently, I have found that one of the strongest assets of this program is the opportunity to work alongside a culturally diverse group of peers. The international aspect of this program creates a number of unique opportunities that would not be possible otherwise. For example, I was able to choose a research project where I collaborate simultaneously with US and French space agencies. From a personal standpoint, I now have friends from across the world that I can visit and host. Following this program, I would like to work in a research lab in either Europe or the United States in order to develop cutting edge space system technologies. I may also decide to continue my education by pursing a PhD. Though I don t have a fully defined career plan at this time, I am confident that I will have many interesting opportunities to choose from. HUAN Qianjiao, China, Graduated in MSc AMA After I got my bachelor degree at BUAA (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Aerospace), I heard that there is an opportunity of the AIRBUS scholarship program to study the Master of Science in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics at ISAE. As ISAE is the best European school for aeronautics, I m very grateful for AIRBUS and ISAE gave me this opportunity to make my dream come true. During the two years at ISAE, we had classes not only in technologies but also in lots of other domains, such as management, language and culture. More than half of the classes are given by professors who are come from the industrial companies, AIRBUS, CNES, ONERA, EUROCOPTER, etc. We learnt the knowledge by a more professional way with helps a lot in our future career. The internship which took place at the last semester gives us a great opportunity to link what we have learnt at school to what we are going to do as a job in the future. For me, I have performed a six months internship at AIRBUS France which is a precious chance to me and leads me to my future career. After this internship, I was recruited by SOGETI High Tech which is a subcontractor of AIRBUS and I m working now on some projects of structure calculation on the AIRBUS family aircrafts. Moreover, this two-year master is an international program with students coming from all over the word. Here, we got the chance to know the different cultures and ways of thinking in different countries and we made great friendship which we will never forget». URBINA Sofia - Spain, PhD student at LAAS-CNRS - Graduated in MSc AESS Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master? What were your objectives? In Madrid, I had a very theoretical background regarding the aerospace domain. I missed both having a more practical approach to the aeronautical field and deeper knowledge in space, which has always been my passion. These two key points were decisive to choose ISAE. The MSc AESS promised to give us both theoretic and practical knowledge, which was a real challenge. I had full confidence in the school, since its reputation is well known worldwide. In addition, coming to France seemed a great opportunity to learn another language while improving English during lectures. According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the Master you did? After graduating, I keep three main strong assets of the Master. The first one is its high technical level. The lectures take into account both theoretical and practical aspects of each course, which had to be finished with a high-quality report. The second one is related to the Research Project that has to be performed during two semesters. Thanks to it, I discovered my real vocation as researcher in the space domain. The last one regards the personal point of view. Since ISAE hosts many international students, I had the opportunity of interconnecting with other cultures, which enriches one s life. Which are your career plans? I wish to work for Airbus, if possible in flight test engineering. 3
