About the University
Myanmar Aerospace Engineering University (MAEU) is Myanmar's only dedicated aerospace engineering institution, established in February 2002 in Meiktila, Mandalay Division. Located on the Yangon–Mandalay highway next to the Myanmar Air Force Ground Training Base, it is the country's sole pathway for students who wish to pursue a degree in aerospace, avionics, space systems, or propulsion engineering.
MAEU offers five 6-year Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) specialisations — Propulsion and Flight Vehicles, Avionics, Electrical Systems and Instrumentation, Fuel and Propellant Engineering, and Space Systems Engineering — as well as a 1-year postgraduate Diploma in Airport Management (Dip.A.M.).
The university's vision is to become an internationally recognised aerospace and space-science institution. Its mission centres on internationally accredited engineering education under the Washington Accord and QMS standards, collaboration with ICAO, and partnerships with domestic and international aviation and aerospace organisations.
