航空太空工程(Aeronautics and Astronautics)
我們的願景是讓工程師可以帶領團隊，成功的進行航空工程和相關的複雜高效能系統的概念、設計、執行和運作(Conception、Design、Implementation、Operation，簡稱CDIO)。我們意在創造一個新的整合性教育，目標則是：
-
在技術基礎上提供學生深入的工作知識；
-
教育工程師成為新產品或新系統創造和執行過程中的領導者；
-
灌輸研究者們對自己工作重要性和策略價值的認知。
這三個目標相輔相成，卻又彼此獨立。自從一九五○年代的工程科學革命之後，大學的科技教育目標就是在教育基礎的知識。隨著教育變得更為抽像，充斥著大量的類別，我們擔心基礎知識的深度和理解度都開始下降。因此，我們將會創造一個可以強化和更深化基礎知識的瞭解的環境，讓我們年輕的工程師可以利用他們的知識和技巧來更有信心、更有生產力的進行創造和創新。

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.
