This initiative forms part of AAAU’s strategic plan to commence academic programmes in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering, aimed at equipping the next generation of aviation professionals with the technical expertise and practical skills required for the evolving aviation and aerospace industry.
The collaboration also seeks to identify essential infrastructure, laboratories, and workshops necessary for the smooth take-off of the new faculty.
