Aeronautics and astronautics engineering is one of the most attractive and multidisciplinary engineering fields, both in the past and today. Technological advancements in the aeronautics and space sector have also led to developments in other areas such as communication and automotive industries. Graduates of aeronautics and astronautics engineering can find work in various sectors due to their theoretical and technical knowledge and advanced creativity, depending on their skills and interests.
Since 1969, it has had a long-standing engineering education and training infrastructure, successfully producing engineers in many fields. Student exchange programs such as Erasmus, Farabi, and Mevlana are supported. The faculty offers double major and minor programs, allowing students to gain expertise in multiple engineering disciplines.
The Aerodynamics and Simulation Laboratory of the Department of Aerospace Engineering focuses on examining the aerodynamic performance of air and space vehicles, researching flow dynamics principles, and developing numerical simulation methods. The laboratory’s work includes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses, turbulence and flow control studies, and aerodynamic optimization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Our department runs a number of funded research projects — including TÜBİTAK 2209 supported studies — that directly involve our undergraduate (bachelor’s) students, giving them hands-on research experience alongside their academic advisors.

Our department is part of the Faculty of Engineering at Dokuz Eylül University, located on the Tınaztepe Campus.
