Aerospace Engineering & maintenance

Today, the aerospace industry in the world is growing very rapidly and considered one of the major driving forces behind technology development. In most industrial countries it is also a cooperation of public and private industries with an international character and English as communication medium. The Netherlands (and the European Union) has a great need for technically trained people in the aviation industry and the aim of the minor Aerospace Engineering & Maintenance is to expose students to this industry and its main engineering elements. The minor is conducted in English and open for international students and the Erasmus Exchange Program. The minor is developed and deployed within the Academy of Engineering and ICT (AE&I) in Breda in close collaboration with the industry and research institutes.

After the program you will have gained insight into the world of aerospace through both company visits and introductions to subjects like aerodynamics and flight mechanics, maintenance management, aviation legislation (certification) as well as human factors & safety (attitude and behavior).
