Aerofest

Aerofest 2015 is an inter-universities event organized by Aerospace Engineering Society, School of Aerospace Engineering, University Sains Malaysia (USM). It is the platform at which we aim involve participation from other universities that offer similar sounding courses to aerospace engineering (UTM, UPM, UiAM, UTHM and UniKL). We wish to provide the chance for the students to apply knowledge that we have learned in classes. Apply it, use it and understand it. As true learning process only begin when we start to understand. But how we going to share and apply those knowledge? A talk? Another lecture session? Of course not! We will do it in a more interesting way which is through competitions. Aerofest 2015 will held a total of 3 competitions in which 2 under the category of  Aeronautic and 1 under the category of Astronautic from 20th to 22nd November 2015. 


For the category Aeronautic, there will be:

·        Glider Challenge

·        Quadcopter Challenge


For the category Astronautic:

·        Can-Satellite Competition

There will be a research forum in conjunction with the Aerofest 2015 for the lecturers and postgraduates to share their research’s interests with lecturers from other universities.
Despite the number of competition, winning is always secondary. The main purpose of Aerofest 2015 is to share our aerospace-related knowledge and to connect all other Aerospace/Aeronautical field students and lecturers in Malaysia.
