AircraftEngineering

The programis meant for those who wish to invent new flying vehicles and create thefuture. Advanced study of technical disciplines combined with intensiveworkshops provided by high-profile professionals from principal Russianaircraft design bureaus such as Sukhoi, Mig, Ilyushin, Beriev, Tupolev. Coresubjects are methods for aircraft design engineering, flight mechanics, methodsfor modeling in CAD software systems, and others. Our graduates work inaerospace companies such as Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Thales, COMAC, ATR,Cessna, Fokker, Hindustan Aeronautics.

SpacecraftEngineering

The programis created for future experts who are able to lead projects in spacecommunication systems, satellite navigation systems, and manned spacecraft. Itis based on the experience of the Soviet space program and the latest Russianspace developments. MAI students have launched 9 satellites designed andmanufactured at the university laboratories. Graduates of the program gainknowledge of various constructive approaches and technological solutions forthe modern aerospace industry. This allows them to begin their career in any ofthe world's aerospace companies such as NASA, Boeing, the Korea AerospaceResearch Institute (KARI), the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO),RosCosmos and  SpaceX.

ControlSystems and Computer Science in Engineering

The programis for those who would like to study automatic control engineering, sensortechnologies and robotics, who would like to be a high-profile professional, acreator of modern avionics, electronic devices of any complexity. The subjectarea covers algorithms and object-oriented methods for control systemengineering, flight safety systems and electronic device manufacturing methods.Graduates of the program gain knowledge, experience and practical skills thatgive them extensive career opportunities in all high-demand fields of modernhi-tech industries, such as aerospace corporations, oil and gas companies, biomedicalprojects.

Propulsionengineering

The program is created to acquire deep knowledgeof physics and material science, to become a brilliant engineer and build thecareer in one of the most complicated fields of the modern hi-tech industry. Theprogram focuses on in-depth study of theoretical disciplines with advancedtraining in general engineering. The curriculum includes such disciplines asturbojet design engineering, product lifecycle management for jet engines, schematicdesign and mathematical modeling, thermodynamics and heat transfer. Comprehensivecurriculum combined with intensive practical training provide the graduateswith an opportunity to continue their education in various fields of hi-techengineering and to start their career in world major of aerospace and heavyindustries, such as Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Rolls-Royce, Pratt&Whitney,Siemens, GE Power, Sauer, Subaru.
