BSc Aerospace Science & Technology
Aerospace engineering foundations
A four-year BSc in Aerospace Science & Technology at NKUA, covering aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, control, and applied mathematics.
Core modules
Conservation laws, boundary layers, compressible flow and the aerodynamics of lifting surfaces, the foundation for propulsion, performance and flight analysis.
Operating principles of air-breathing and rocket propulsion, thermodynamic cycles, nozzle flow, thrust and specific impulse, from turbojets to solid motors.
Aircraft equations of motion, static and dynamic stability, and the response of vehicles to control inputs and atmospheric disturbances.
Stress, strain and deformation of aerospace structures, beams, thin-walled sections and an introduction to finite-element methods.
Numerical solution of engineering problems in Python and MATLAB, root-finding, integration, ordinary differential equations and linear systems.
Foundations and founding a rocketry team
Strong grounding in fluid mechanics, propulsion, flight dynamics, and structural analysis, alongside numerical methods in Python and MATLAB.
Founded ΔV Dynamics, the university's first rocketry team, leading its first solid-motor static fire. View rocketry →
BSc thesis: solid motor internal ballistics, scored 10 out of 10, now written up as a case study. Internal Ballistics of a Low Cost Solid Motor →
