航空宇航工程(Aeronautics and Astronautics)
我们的愿景是让工程师可以带领团队，成功的进行航空工程和相关的复杂高效能系统的概念、设计、执行和运作(Conception、Design、Implementation、Operation，简称CDIO)。我们意在创造一个新的整合性教育，目标则是：
-
在技术基础上提供学生深入的工作知识；
-
教育工程师成为新产品或新系统创造和执行过程中的领导者；
-
灌输研究者们对自己工作重要性和策略价值的认知。
这三个目标相辅相成，却又彼此独立。自从一九五○年代的工程科学革命之后，大学的科技教育目标就是在教育基础的知识。随着教育变得更为抽像，充斥着大量的类别，我们担心基础知识的深度和理解度都开始下降。因此，我们将会创造一个可以强化和更深化基础知识的了解的环境，让我们年轻的工程师可以利用他们的知识和技巧来更有信心、更有生产力的进行创造和创新。

Our mission is to prepare engineers for success and leadership in the Conception, Design, Implementation, and Operation (CDIO) of aerospace and related complex, high-performance systems. We intend to create a new integrated education, the goals of which are:
-
To provide students with a deep working knowledge of the technical fundamentals;
-
To educate engineers to be leaders in the creation and operation of new products and systems;
-
To instill in researchers an understanding of the importance and strategic value of their work.
These three goals are synergistic but distinct. Since the engineering science revolution of the 1950s it has been the goal of university technical education to teach the fundamentals. We are concerned that as education has become more abstract and more packed with topics, the depth and comprehensiveness of understanding of the fundamentals has declined. Therefore, we will create the learning environment that reinforces and deepens the understanding of the fundamentals, empowering our young engineers to use their knowledge and skills to create and innovate much more confidently and productively.
