Aerospace engineers have numerous competenceswhich are relevant for basically all engineering discipli-nes. For example, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics are crucial for aircraft design – but may also be applied to the design of new cars or energy efficient buildings. Because of this multidisciplinary engineering curriculum – aerospace engineers are experts which are actively recruited from various industries around the world. Technologies, processes and the working environment in general are changing rapidly nowadays. Aircraft and space technologies are considered a technology driver setting new benchmarks which are later assimilated by other engineering disciplines. The aerospace enginee-ring programme at the University of Applied Sciences at Wiener Neustadt provides the best skills to participate in leading edge developments and enables the students to contribute to technologies which are literally going beyond our world.

//. The ultimate engineering discipline
Aerospace is not only a truly fascinating sub-ject – it’s the ultimate engineering discipline! Aerospace technologies must have the lowest weight, consume a minimum of el. power and have to remain maintenance-free for up to 10-15 years. Aerospace Engineering offers a challenging, interdisciplinary and very internati-onal working environment while developing air-crafts, satellites or space probes exploring pla-nets. It’s the first time that such an aerospace engineering programme is offered in Austria and it’s therefore a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enter the world of air and space.
//. An outstanding engineering education
Aerospace engineering is an outstanding edu-cation which combines many engineering disci-plines, such as lightweight engineering, material sciences, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics or propulsion technologies. Up to date software packages such as CATIA for drawings and con-struction or ANSYS for finite-element simulations are being taught with practical examples inte-grated into recent R&D topics. Due to the high educational standards required for aerospace engineering graduates from this discipline are sought after engineers not only for aerospace re-lated professions but also in automotive or energy and environmental engineering. Placements and thesis research in leading companies, research institutes and in our in-house R&D team com-plement the education programme with practical
experience.
//. Practice orientation
The active participation of aerospace indust-ries in the development of our aerospace cur-riculum as well as teaching in the programme itself ensures an education reflecting the ac-tual future job needs. Lecturers from industry and research centers enable an early contact to the students from the start to make con-tacts for future diploma research and jobs. Our programme also benefits from the aerospace department at FOTEC, the R&D company from the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neu-stadt, where experts in the area of propulsion and new energy technologies carry out cutting-edge research for ESA (European Space Agen-cy), NASA as well as leading industries around the world.
//. Designing real-world projects
Distinctive features of our aerospace program-me are design projects across seprogram-mesters and lectures in order to apply theoretical skills in fascinating real-world projects. Examples are the development of an FHWN satellite, an un-manned aerial robot, the development of a moon lander or a sounding rocket which will blast off from our campus!

The „aerospace engineering“ programme offers a classical engineering education at a high level for anyone who is fascinated by air & space. Apart from lectures – also the “fun factor” shall be a major part of your study with designing and building flying vehicles or ro-cket engines! Experts from industry and lea-ding scientists will bring the students close to air & space – aerospace engineering is truly a programme without limits! The historic envi-ronment at Wiener Neustadt, leading aircraft manufacturers such as Diamond or Schiebel Aerospace outside the University as well as the airport with aircraft and helicopters crea-te a great atmosphere for this fascinating programme. We are well connected due to many contracts from NASA, ESA and others, and can therefore offer our students top placements for future jobs or research oppor-tunities, so that they will find it easy to stay in the aerospace field – or related industries such as automotive or new energies.

„A study programme such as this is inva-luable. The synergies from aerospace to other related engineering fields are extre-mely beneficial. We meet future employees early on, the students gain practical experi-ence from the start, and the whole location in and around Wiener Neustadt will benefit from this.“
Dr. Gert Berchtold
CEO of Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH

„The ideal engineer is a composite ... He is not a scientist, he is not a mathematician, he is not a sociologist or a writer; but he may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these disciplines in solving engineering pro-blems.“
N. W. Dougherty
The „aerospace engineering“ programme offers a classical engineering education at a high level for anyone who is fascinated by air & space. Apart from lectures – also the “fun factor” shall be a major part of your study with designing and building flying vehicles or ro-cket engines! Experts from industry and lea-ding scientists will bring the students close to air & space – aerospace engineering is truly a programme without limits! The historic envi-ronment at Wiener Neustadt, leading aircraft manufacturers such as Diamond or Schiebel Aerospace outside the University as well as the airport with aircraft and helicopters crea-te a great atmosphere for this fascinating programme. We are well connected due to many contracts from NASA, ESA and others, and can therefore offer our students top placements for future jobs or research oppor-tunities, so that they will find it easy to stay in the aerospace field – or related industries such as automotive or new energies.

Aerospace engineers have numerous competenceswhich are relevant for basically all engineering discipli-nes. For example, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics are crucial for aircraft design – but may also be applied to the design of new cars or energy efficient buildings. Because of this multidisciplinary engineering curriculum – aerospace engineers are experts which are actively recruited from various industries around the world. Technologies, processes and the working environment in general are changing rapidly nowadays. Aircraft and space technologies are considered a technology driver setting new benchmarks which are later assimilated by other engineering disciplines. The aerospace enginee-ring programme at the University of Applied Sciences at Wiener Neustadt provides the best skills to participate in leading edge developments and enables the students to contribute to technologies which are literally going beyond our world.
Aerospace Engineering beyond limits.
