About the program

The objective of the Aerospace Engineering program from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology is to expand students’ knowledge in the fields of aeronautics and aerospace, and to provide training in relevant research methods.

This objective is attained by studying advanced graduate level courses, attending professional seminars and conducting a research study or research project in one of the areas of specialization.`

A thesis is not required in the Aerospace Engineering program from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology detailed below, but students must study a larger number of courses. The proposed courses were chosen so that the students could expand their professional horizons, as they include up-to-date scientific and professional developments to provide the students with the most updated knowledge in their area of specialization.

Open positions for MSc, PhD and postdoctoral students

Flow Physics Laboratory at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering

The flow physics lab is looking for motivated MSc, PhD and Postdoctoral candidates. Our research focuses on theoretical and computational investigations of flow physics, with specific emphasis on instability and transition to turbulence. The common thread guiding our research is using a minimal number of elements to describe physical phenomena.

Therefore, canonical settings, where effects of various parameters can be isolated, are often analyzed. Investigations of flow physics provide us with guidelines for controlling the flow and avoiding undesirable phenomena (e.g. stall, noise and vibrations), leading to safer, quieter and more efficient aerial vehicles with lower drag and fuel consumption.
