Certificate in Decarbonization of Aerospace
Aerospace companies are investing heavily in sustainable fuels and technologies to meet ambitious decarbonization targets. Yet many engineers lack the training to work with these emerging systems.
The Certificate in Decarbonization of Aerospace closes this gap by connecting chemical and aerospace engineering principles with the practical methods needed to design low-carbon aircraft systems. Through this 15-week program offered by the Concordia Institute of Aerospace Design and Innovation (CIADI), you’ll gain the knowledge and application techniques to contribute directly to decarbonization projects and advance your career in a transforming sector.
