The Aircraft System Engineering Major aims to educate students to become professional engineers by teaching the advanced knowledge about aircraft system needed for the maintenance, operation, and development of various aircrafts. Courses in this major include basic theories of aircraft operation, aircraft electricity and electronics, flight control systems, computer-based aircraft equipment, flight simulation, flight test, and engineering technologies of the air transportation industry. After graduation, students can pursue their careers in aircraft manufacturing companies, and government and civil institutes. Co-op Programs KAU has sister relationships with 23 aviation universities and research institutions from 13 different countries for the purpose of exchanging students and improving our educational quality. We host various international aerospace related conferences and try to provide useful opportunities for the domestic aerospace industry to obtain recent technologies and world industrial trends. To avoid a particular propensity, KAU is making constant effort to diversify links with other countries for a more active exchange of information about academic course development, co-teaching and co-researching. Through exchange programs, students experience diversities of culture and academies, and learn cooperation, balanced personality, and essential characteristics which will be required in their future aerospace job. In the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, students have a variety of experiences in machine tools and engine overhaul for an in-house program. As well, students visit Korean Air Maintenance Facility to get an experience in the aerospace industry.
