Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Systems Engineering
Castelldefels School of Telecommunications and Aerospace Engineering (EETAC)
The bachelor's degree in Aerospace Systems Engineering offers multidisciplinary training in aerospace systems engineering. You will acquire extensive knowledge of aerospace science and technology, particularly airport and air navigation infrastructure and air transport and air traffic management systems. You will go on to become a professional who is able to integrate into teams working on aerospace and consultancy projects.
Major in Air Navigation
You will specialise in avionics and the communication, navigation and surveillance systems that are necessary for air transport and traffic. You will acquire technical knowledge of navigability; communication, geolocation and observation satellites; meteorology; electronic instrumentation; and flight control systems. You will learn to apply this knowledge to flight route planning, airspace management and the implementation, development, design and maintenance of communication, navigation and surveillance systems.
Major in Airports
You will specialise in the design, development, maintenance and management of airport and aviation-support infrastructure. You will gain a solid grounding in air transport and maintenance of runways, hangars, terminal and service buildings, control towers, and passenger and cargo access ways, as well as studying airport construction, maintenance and management. You will also learn how to apply the technical skills you develop in relation to geotechnical engineering, electrical and communications installations, structures, building construction and infrastructure for air navigation, aerodromes, heliports and altiports.
