Work in the aircraft and space industry is challenging. Aircraft design is very complex and offers plenty of scope for an engineer to use his creativity. For engineers in the Netherlands, work in the aeronautical field is concentrated in the maintenance and manufacturing industry.
Engineering firms, research agencies and institutes concerned with innovation also welcome graduates of the Aeronautical Engineering programme with open arms.
You can also apply the knowledge you will acquire during the Aeronautical Engineering programme to projects for generating clean, sustainable energy. The aerodynamic and structural design of wind turbine blades is one field of application.
Examples of jobs that will be within your reach as an Aeronautical Engineering graduate are:
- design engineer
- structural engineer
- materials and composites engineer
- modification and repair engineer
- systems engineer
- flight test engineer
- detail design engineer
- stress engineer
- weight engineer
- test engineer
- manufacturing engineer
