South East Technological University (SETU) hosted the ‘Celebrating Aerospace’ event, an exciting launch that highlights the University’s expansion in aerospace education and training.
Hosted at SETU’s campus in Carlow, the event brought together academics, industry leaders, and public representatives to discuss key opportunities in the aerospace sector. It reinforced SETU’s commitment to developing and nurturing globally competitive talent for this growing industry.
Professor Veronica Campbell, President of SETU, said, “Today offers us a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a range of recent aerospace achievements at SETU: the announcement of our new Aircraft Mechanic apprenticeship; the signing of our recent MoU agreement with Waterford Airport; and the launch of our ‘Master of Engineering in Flight Test Engineering’ postgraduate programme.”
Prof. Campbell continued, “The significance of our EASA compliance for apprenticeship delivery, as well as the rollout out of the new M.Eng. in Flight Test Engineering, means that SETU is now providing a comprehensive range of pathways in aerospace education and training. Our collaboration with Waterford Airport is perfectly placed and resourced to provide a strong research and development alliance in flight testing small aircraft and unmanned air vehicles.”
Prof. Campbell concluded, “Built on a foundation of excellence and innovative thinking, aerospace education and training at SETU exemplifies much of the values and ambition that SETU seeks to embody. Having responded to a global opportunity and developed a comprehensive offering in aerospace education over the years, our aerospace team has positioned itself as an innovator in this field.”
