The Aerospace Engineering (ASE) program is concerned with the industrial development and use of aircraft, spacecraft, and their related systems and equipment. It comprises the processes of design, production and testing, but also covers the operation, maintenance, inspection and other related activities. The field has traditionally focused on problems of the atmospheric and space flights, distributed over two major overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aerospace engineering is multidisciplinary by its nature, requiring aerospace engineers to possess profound understanding of aerodynamics, materials and structures, propulsion, vehicle dynamics and control, all supported by the full spectrum of software engineering and a certain knowledge of electrical systems. The skills set of aerospace engineers is therefore extremely broad. It allows them to buildup precious experience as systems architects/engineers, and hence contribute to the technological and managerial advances in the relevant sectors.
The ASE program includes the two interconnected tracks of Aeronautical Engineering and Astronautical Engineering. Aeronautical Engineering focuses on the design, performance and operation of aircraft and atmospheric flying vehicles. Besides, Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) are also subject of study in this track, as their engineering is also based on aerodynamic, propulsion, structural and control design. However, same as space crafts, UAVs are mostly designed to carry payloads. Astronautical Engineering focused on research, design, development and analysis of spacecraft vehicle system engineering, spacecraft mission analysis, systems engineering and design, Assembly Integration and Testing (AIT) and operation.
The Mechatronics Engineering program integrates mechanical, control, electrical, electronics, and computer engineering synergistically in order to build innovative components and systems to realize functional and smart products.
The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) program is concerned with the design, manufacturing, analysis, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, energy and money. Those systems include products, manufacturing processes, production systems, service systems and government units and agencies. The IME program includes two interconnected majors in Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering. Industrial Engineering concentrates on designing, installing, and improving procedures and systems for effective and efficient operation of enterprises in production, service and government systems. Manufacturing engineers transform raw materials, parts and subassemblies into intermediate and final products and systems. Manufacturing Engineering involves designing processes to make high-quality, functional and economical products; developing facilities for efficient production systems; and utilizing advanced manufacturing technologies. Industrial and Manufacturing engineers work closely together in designing, planning and using state-of-the-art technologies in the production of the highest quality products while assuring a competitive level of productivity and competitive cost. The IME curriculum provides a broad foundation in all engineering disciplines and in depth exposure to the current ideas, models, and methods of industrial engineering as well as manufacturing processes with emphasis on machining and product development. It also includes the important component of humanities and social sciences to help students understand the societal implications of their work. This program is the choice of people with the aptitude and interest for careers that blend technology and people, and for those who see themselves as entrepreneurs and leaders in their future communities.
Our world is driven by the materials that are currently available. Millions of products, machines, and innovative technologies are made better because of a new and improved material. In fact, many of today's industrial problems await materials solutions: the automobile industry needs lighter, fuel efficient car bodies. Cell phone and tablet manufacturers are looking for of ultra-thin, damage-resistant glass for displays. Biomedical doctors and engineers are using biologically compatible materials to repair and replace parts of the human body. Computer technology seeks materials that store more information. The materials science and engineering program at E-JUST provides unique and high impact opportunity to its graduates to be involved in many Hi-Tech industries such as Electronics, Energy, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Automotive, Steel, etc.
