CONTENT and OBJECTIVES

Mastre
Spcialis MS
The purpose of the advanced master (Mastre Spcialis) in
Air-Ground Collaborative Systems Engineering (Postgraduate
Degree) is to provide to the students with in-depth and comprehen-
sive knowledge in systems engineering and applications dedica-
ted to aircraft, air traffic control and air - ground integration. This
is dedicated to air navigation service providers and airlines to
tackle the main challenges due to growth of air traffic, including
maintaining or even increasing flight safety, increasing airspace
capacity, improving flight punctuality, ensuring adequate return
on investment and developing higher cooperation between
aircraft, air navigation service providers and airlines through new
avionics systems. Industrial programs like SESAR in Europe or
NextGen in the USA are currently running in that field.

The training program is multidisciplinary and involves major

companies from the aeronautical sector. The ranges of topics
span aircraft operations, communication, navigation and surveil-
lance systems, avionics technology, certification, project mana-
gement, human factors and collaborative applications dedicated
to Airlines and Air Traffic Management.

As far as future employment of the students is concerned, the

aim is to train them so that they can become skilled aeronautical
managers, being able to actively take part in the development,
the certification or the maintenance of avionics systems, air traffic
control systems or systems dedicated to air-ground integration.
