Research

All master programs of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering are scientific research programs. This means that on course of the 4 semesters, master students choose research subjects and works under the supervision of a professor assigned to them at the beginning of the semester by the Director of Department and do internship stages with various employers or in the labs of the faculty, for the documentation stage or experiments. The Research subject each semester are normally parts of the dissertation, thus a supervisor assigned in the beginning stays the same until the dissertation exam.

The research activity each semester ends with a written research report, on which the supervisor needs to decide. If the supervisor considers it sufficiently elaborated, he submits the report to a scientific board, which is in session in the last week of teaching each semester*. The students will take part in these sessions to defend their reports. The dates, times and venues for these sessions are announced. The board grades each master student for his or her scientific research acitvity.
