從左至右依次為：費哲妮、林岱、胡澤坤、趙瑩雪

來看一組數(shù)據(jù)：2021屆寧波諾丁漢大學航空航天工程專業(yè)學生，目前已提交就業(yè)去向，選擇升學的27名學生中，14名學生將去往航空工程領域全球排名前十的院校繼續(xù)深造。比例超過半數(shù)！

根據(jù)QS2021年航空工程的學科排名，1名同學收到了全球?qū)�業(yè)排名第五的新加坡南洋理工大學的錄取通知書，13名同學將組團去往全球?qū)�業(yè)排名第八的帝國理工學院。

寧諾于2017年開設航空航天工程本科專業(yè)。一晃四年，第一屆學生用實力證明了他們的開拓精神——無前路可循，那就走出自己的路。該專業(yè)趙瑩雪、林岱、胡澤坤、費哲妮四位同學講述了他們的故事。

始 于 夢 想

獲得帝國理工學院青睞的趙瑩雪出生于航空世家，父親是一名航空發(fā)動機工程師，從小她就對一切可以飛起來的生物都充滿著探索的欲望。高中接觸物理后，她更是對航空航天產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣。

“這個專業(yè)對我來說是一門飛行的科學，是人類在后天通過觀察學習以及不懈努力的成果。”趙瑩雪說，高考結(jié)束時，她去濟南參加了一場招生宣傳。

“招生老師提到寧諾有航空航天專業(yè)。考慮到我英語比較占優(yōu)勢，能在這樣一所學校接受原汁原味的英式教育，還能投身自己喜歡的專業(yè)，實現(xiàn)童年夢想，我毫不猶豫地報了名�！�

同樣將去往帝國理工學院的林岱，打算繼續(xù)深耕航空工程，立志成為一名優(yōu)秀的航空航天工程師�！昂娇蘸教旃こ處熆梢灾�力人類探索發(fā)掘宇宙邊緣，通過研究安全和舒適飛行的科技來改善人們的生活方式，這是我選擇這個專業(yè)的初衷�！�

學 科 之 美

趙瑩雪的畢業(yè)設計是“給飛機穿上鯊魚皮”，即運用空氣動力學和仿生學的知識對飛機機翼進行流動控制,從而達到減阻效果。“接觸了航空航天之后我才領略到流體力學之美，感受到了空氣動力學的樂趣�！�

同時攬獲帝國理工學院、倫敦大學學院、賓夕法尼亞大學和康奈爾大學錄取通知書的胡澤坤，最終選擇了賓夕法尼亞大學。他覺得，航空航天工程專業(yè)充分借鑒了英國諾丁漢大學的課程設置和知識體系，課程安排非常合理。而在趣味十足的課堂之余，學院還組織參觀了波音工廠和飛行院校等與專業(yè)高度相關的行業(yè)機構(gòu)。

“我們學院的老師都非常負責任，對我們很盡心，就像是對待自己的孩子一樣�！焙鷿衫け硎菊�是老師們的悉心指導，讓他積累了關于學科足夠的知識和底蘊，從而申請到一眾世界名校。

這點得到了所有采訪對象的認同。幾位還提到，航空航天工程專業(yè)本科階段學習的知識涵蓋方方面面，包括流體力學、材料結(jié)構(gòu)、飛行原理、控制系統(tǒng)、航空電子等等，所以教授涉及不同的領域，且各有建樹。

趙瑩雪說：

“

從持有多種飛機資質(zhì)的飛行員教授，到研究多電飛機的行業(yè)先驅(qū)，再到從事流體力學和航空制造業(yè)的教授們，他們?yōu)槲覀兲峁┝烁鼘掗煹囊暯牵�讓我們看到未來各種不同的可能性。

無 限 可 能

連續(xù)三年均分專業(yè)第一，拿到全校僅6席的國家獎學金，費哲妮的秘訣是：以寧諾為支點，探索自己的可能性。

她曾在《科學美國人》簡體中文月刊《環(huán)球科學》實習長達三年，翻譯了近80篇科學文章。大二暑假，她代表寧諾赴倫敦參加“2019全球重大挑戰(zhàn)論壇”。

“這個論壇讓我深刻地意識到，工程學科是非常多元的，需要全面的考慮。不僅是專業(yè)知識，還有可持續(xù)性、創(chuàng)意思維等等�！�

目前費哲妮正在國際上歷史最悠久的航空航天專業(yè)組織——英國皇家航空協(xié)會實習。得益于寧諾與協(xié)會的學術(shù)交流和合作，大二她就成為了英國皇家航空協(xié)會上海代表處的學生代表，得以了解世界尖端學術(shù)進展。

四年倏忽而過。在林岱看來，大學生活最讓他受益匪淺的是獨立探索的能力。

“

教授無論是對我們問題的回答還是設置的作業(yè)，大多是引導式的，讓我們自己尋找答案，從而最大限度地培養(yǎng)鍛煉我們。這樣養(yǎng)成的學習能力不但能讓我盡早體驗做科研的過程，而且對適應未來的挑戰(zhàn)也有很大的幫助。

星空浩瀚無邊，探索永無止境，我們期待他們帶來更多的可能。

First class of Aerospace Engineering graduates admitted to top graduate schools

The first class of students of the Aerospace Engineering programme at University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) are to earn their undergraduate degree this summer. According to statistics collected so far, among the 27 graduates who decided to pursue further studies, 14 received admission letters from world top ten universities in the field of aerospace engineering, including Nanyang Technological University and Imperial College London (ICL). Four of them, Yingxue Zhao, Dai Lin, Zekun Hu and Zheni Fei, shared their experiences.

To Zekun, who has received offers from ICL, University of London College, University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University, the most attractive feature of the UNNC course is its modular arrangement - which follows that of University of Nottingham UK – very progressive, inclusive and appealing. Alongside interesting classes, UNNC also organised regular visits to industrial plants such as a Boeing factory and flight academies.

“All the module conveners at our School are very patient, responsible, and willing to help,” said Zekun. Aside from their dedication, their diverse backgrounds were spoken highly of by all four students.

The teaching team includes former pilot with various aircraft qualifications, industry pioneer in the research of multi electric aircraft, prestigious scholar in the fields of fluid mechanics and aviation manufacturing. “This provided us with a broader perspective to see various possibilities in the future," Yingxue, who was admitted to ICL, added.

Influenced by her father, an aero-engine engineer, Yingxue was exciting to join UNNC to receive a British-style education and explore her favourite subject. “It was only after my exposure to aerospace that I appreciated the beauty of fluid mechanics and the joy of aerodynamics." Therefore, Yingxue chose to research in this area for her dissertation.

In Dai’s opinion, the most precious lesson he learned during his college life was not the knowledge of a single area but his comprehensive ability to research and think independently. “The goal of professors is always to guide and support us to explore and find an answer by ourselves. The learning ability cultivated during the process not only enables me to experience the process of scientific research, but also helps me to adapt to the future challenges," he said.

Dai believes that aerospace engineers help mankind explore the edge of the universe, and they improve people's lifestyles by developing technologies for safe and comfortable flights. He is also heading to ICL to pursue his dreams.

To Zheni Fei, who scored first for three consecutive years in the School and was awarded a national scholarship, UNNC has been a bridge to a future of unlimited potential. She represented the University in competition at the Global Grand Challenges Forum 2019 in her second year.

"The forum taught me that engineering is a very inclusive discipline and needs to be considered holistically – we need not only expertise of our own field, but also in other aspects such as sustainability and creativity," said Zheni. Through the University, she is currently doing an internship with the Royal Aeronautical Society, the world's only professional membership association dedicated to the aerospace and aviation industry.

The vast sky seems to have unlimited possibilities for the future of this fresh class of aerospace graduates.
