German students will come to SSAU in order to study engine building

Students from the University of Stuttgart will take part in the English-speaking summer school on engine building and will attend a course on the Theory and Design of Aircraft Engines during three weeks in Samara.

Only the best students of SSAU Institute of Aircraft Engines University of Stuttgart will come to –the program initiator Professor Stefan Staudacher, Dean of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering and Geodesy, Director of the Institute of Aircraft Engines of the University of Stuttgart, selected 10 bachelors from 40 students wishing to come. Nicholas Nuberger, postdoctoral student of the University, will lead the delegation.
 

The Aircraft Engines Design is a unique course for German undergraduate students. Such knowledge in Stuttgart can be obtained only by a Master during his practice in a profile company. Meanwhile, in SSAU such courses are already included in the curriculum that allows preparing students who do not require additional retraining on arrival at the company.
 

 Russian-German summer school will take place in the Department of Design and Engineering of Aircraft Engines of SSAU Institute of Aircraft Engines Design and Power Plants. The Department of Aircraft Engines Theory will be involved in a number of class activities.
 

The German students will work on modernization of two existing gas turbine engines together with their Russian counterparts. The entire course will be in English.
 

Upon completion of training, each Bachelor will receive a mark and a certificate. The course studied in the Samara University will be accepted into the program for German students, and each Bachelor will receive three European academic credit units for it.
 

"The idea of ​​such a study scheme belongs to Professor Stefan Staudacher, - said Professor Sergey Falaleev, the Head of SSAU Department of Design and Engineering of Aircraft Engines. - It will help German students to assess the prospects for studying in Samara and get a unique knowledge here. We would like to create a positive image of Russia, Samara and SSAU so that these guys would select the Master's Degree in the Samara State Aerospace University upon receiving a Bachelor's Degree in the University of Stuttgart".

For reference

Samara State Aerospace University actively cooperates with the University of Stuttgart for about ten years. SSAU graduate students are involved in their own developments during internships in Germany. The researchers from Stuttgart are working on their dissertations at SSAU Department of Design and Engineering of Aircraft Engines.
 

In June 2014 the universities had their first joint school on engine building. Several graduate students from the University of Stuttgart studied at SSAU. This year, the school classes will be held in September already on the basis of the Aircraft Engines Institute of the University of Stuttgart. Currently, a group of five SSAU graduate students is being formed to study in Germany.
