Graduate profile

Description
In the study program aerospace technology, the student will acquire a wide range of knowledge about aeronautical and space technology, including basic terminology. The study program is characterized by a focus on knowledge of the basic principles of the operation of systems on aircraft, knowledge in the field of designing aircraft and space vehicles, as well as the necessary mathematical and physical foundations. The study program enables the preparation of new specialists in demand for the labor market and thereby contributes to the declared effort of the Slovak Republic to keep pace with technological developments in Europe in the field of aviation and space technologies as well as other types of transport and transport systems. The education in the mentioned study program also reflects the latest trends in the development of aviation and space technology and the requirements of practice. The study program complies with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) educational standards and norms and is compatible with educational institutions operating in the field of aerospace technologies. Graduates of the study program are applicable not only in the specific field of aviation and space technologies, but also in other areas of transport and transport systems with spillovers into other highly sophisticated technospheres.
Learning objectives
A graduate of the Bachelor's degree program in Aerospace Technology in the field of study Transport has basic knowledge of modern aviation and space technologies, knows the principles and functions of their operation as well as the conditions of their operation. He has knowledge of theoretical disciplines such as aerodynamics, applied mathematics and selected electronic, electrotechnical, instrumentation and engineering disciplines for understanding the operation of aerospace systems and technologies. The graduate is able to apply this knowledge and understanding of the issues of the field in a way that indicates a professional approach to his work or profession and has competencies usually demonstrated through presenting and defending arguments and solving problems in his field of study. He is able to assess the functionality of technical, technological and computer-supported devices in the given conditions of aviation and space facilities, production and technical operations, laboratories, and at the same time he is able to communicate competently with flight personnel, as well as with technical personnel in the field of production, maintenance, constructions and technologies. The graduate can be employed in the area of operation of aerospace technology, be incorporated in the framework of service and design of diagnostic systems, in the production of technical aids for the field of aviation operations, maintenance and implementation of prescribed works. Based on the acquired knowledge about information systems, he is capable of using them in a qualified manner, which demonstrates the transferability of acquired competences and knowledge. Graduates are prepared for studies in the second level of higher education in their own or another study program in the field of transport, or are prepared for immediate entry into practice.

Employability

Evaluation of the study programme graduates employability
Due to the fact that this is a new study program, it is not possible to fully evaluate the applicability of the graduates. We assume that graduates in AR 2021/22 will continue their engineering studies. In addition, graduates of the study program can be employed by leading operators and manufacturers of aviation technology, who are partners of the faculty (https://lf.tuke.sk/wps/portal/lf/fakulta/partneri-fakulty) as well as the air forces of the Slovak Armed Forces of the Republic, who are studying the study program in question as cadets of the Slovak Armed Forces.
Evaluation of the study programme quality by employers
We have positive evaluations of the study program from leading manufacturers and operators of aviation technology. Specifically, it is a company: Honeywell Aerospace, which is a manufacturer of aircraft engines, aircraft systems, avionics complexes, space systems, military systems and others. Furthermore, the program is positively evaluated by the leading manufacturer of aviation technology Aero Vodochody as well as the leading national manufacturer and developer of aviation technology from the field of small aircraft Tomark Aero. We also have a positive evaluation of the study program from the company performing service and maintenance of aircraft technology Röder Component Service Center s.r.o., which covers the whole spectrum of profiles of the study program. In addition, the study program was positively evaluated by the Ministry of Defense of the Slovak Republic, as students of this program can also become cadets of the Slovak Armed Forces and successful graduates become specialists in the field of avionics as well as aircraft operation and construction in the air forces of the Slovak Armed Forces. The evaluations are listed in the attached files.
