Overview
About this Degree from Instituto Superior Técnico
Aerospace Engineering has accelerated the way we travel through the development of different types of vehicles such as airplanes, helicopters, or robotized aircraft and air traffic management. It also deals with the development of rockets and satellites, and also contributes to the improvement of forms of communication. Thus, the role of the aerospace engineer involves planning and designing air and space vehicles, as well as developing all related support and control systems.
