Educational Program "Aircraft Engines and Power Plants" focuses on working with the "heart" of any aircraft. Today, an engine engineer is a Propulsion Architect and Thermal Wizard. You are the one who tames the energy of explosion and converts it into ideal thrust that lifts hundreds of tons into the sky. Your activity targets will be jet engines for fighter jets, turboprop giants, and advanced plasma units for deep space exploration.
The goal of study is to turn you into a "lord of fire" capable of designing engines that operate at the physical limits of materials. We will teach you to calculate thermodynamic cycles, model gas flows in supersonic nozzles, and implement FADEC digital control systems. This is elite engineering where every gram of weight and every calorie of fuel matter. You will learn to create power plants that represent the pinnacle of human ingenuity, becoming part of the team driving aviation into the future.
Your superpower: In a world striving for speed, you will possess Energy Conversion Mastery and High-Temperature Engineering — skills to build units that operate at temperatures exceeding the melting point of metal. Your professional arsenal will include:
- Gas Turbine Design: designing turbine blades with smart cooling systems.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): virtual testing of combustion chambers to achieve ultimate efficiency.
- Hybrid & Electric Propulsion: developing next-generation eco-friendly engines for green aviation.
- Vibration & Diagnostics: using AI to predict engine health through real-time sound and vibration analysis.
Our graduates are lead designers at SE "Ivchenko-Progress" and "Motor Sich", engineers at global giants (Rolls-Royce, GE Aerospace), and developers of engines for rockets and UAVs, where the ability to create maximum power in a minimal volume is highly valued.
Objects of professional activity for bachelor's graduates are aircraft gas turbine engines; power plants based on aircraft engines; automation and fuel supply systems, as well as testing and maintenance technologies for aviation equipment.
