Study the design, manufacturing, and testing of aircraft engines to make planes fly farther, more fuel-efficient, and more reliable.

Program overview

Aircraft Engine Engineering is a graduate program in the energy and power field, focusing on the heart of an aircraft—the engine. You will study courses such as engine aerothermodynamics, structural strength, combustion, control and testing, and also get hands-on with experiments and simulations. Chinese universities have a strong engineering practice orientation in this field; for example, Beihang University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Northwestern Polytechnical University all have national-level laboratories where you can access real engine test beds and the latest models. This program is suitable for students who enjoy physics and mechanics, have a passion for machinery and aircraft, and are willing to disassemble, assemble, and debug. If you have a solid foundation in math and programming, you'll find it easier to learn.

Major prospects

全球航空业正在向更环保、更高效的方向转型，比如电动飞机、氢燃料发动机、超音速客机等新概念层出不穷。中国正在大力研制国产大飞机C919和军用发动机，对航空发动机人才的需求非常旺盛。国际学生可以关注中航发集团旗下研究所（如沈阳、西安、成都）的实习机会，或者参与高校与空客、GE、罗罗等跨国公司的合作项目。这个领域技术门槛高，但一旦入行，职业稳定性强，而且能接触到最前沿的工程问题。

Career prospects

毕业后主要去向：一是中国航空发动机集团（AECC）下属的研究所或制造厂，做设计、试验或工艺工程师；二是航空公司或维修企业，做发动机维修工程师（MRO）；三是进入高校或科研院所继续读博、做研究；四是去新能源汽车、燃气轮机等相近行业做动力系统开发。硕士起薪在国内一线城市约15-25万人民币/年，博士更高。国际学生如果掌握中文，回国后也能在波音、空客等外企的亚太区找到技术岗位。
