Air Transport Engineering (ATE) taught entirely in English is a modern multidisciplinary master program, founded in 2013, aligned to the Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) strategy of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It is the only aerospace engineering master program in English still available in Romania. ATE started in 2013 and had its first promotion in 2015. Since then, aerospace engineers graduated each year, and currently they have important positions and jobs, in Romania, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Switzerland. The next table presents information on all ATE alumni, since 2015 until 2021. It is remarkable that some graduates have already got to managerial positions, and all the jobs are relevant.
In 2021 there were less candidates for the program than needed, so the program was not organized. Air Navigation alumni preferred Western Europe master programs (TU Delft, Cranfield, ENAC Toulouse). It is worth analyzing though the advantages of this program in Romania: first of all it is free. The costs of Western Europe similar programs and the costs of living there could be significant. Moreover, studying in Western Europe is not compatible with working for a full time job, as it is the case with ATE. The program curricula is generous and diversified, providing multiple professional openings, from aerospace scientific research, aeronautical safety and security, astronautics and space technology, air navigation services, aircraft maintenance, flight operations, etc.
