Students of all three educational directions “Design of Composite Structures”, “Engine Design” and “PLM-technologies” presented the topics of their graduation thesis, relevance of chosen theme and the status of work on it. One of the conditions for choosing the theme of student work is the relevant in the context of developing the aircraft constructions: Aeroacoustic Optimization Design for Turbofun Engine Bypass Duct Based on Adjoint Method”, “Design and Modeling of Fretting on Fan Blades Interlocks”, “Optimization of Layout and Design of Vibrants of a Vertical Stabilizer Principal Construction”, etc.
After the presentations of graduation thesis topics, Rector of MAI Mikhail Pogosian congratulated MAI – SJTU students on the end of semester in MAI and the upcoming New Year: “You made great job during the first semester in MAI, and I hope you enjoy to study in our university.

I wish you to achieve your individual goals, which is equally important and useful in life.”
Rector also gave young engineers a good advice for future career: “Today, both the aircraft project and the engine project are being actively developed by Russian-Chinese partners. Such joint work requires a large number of modern specialists who are well aware of the current trends in the management of the product's life cycle, composite structures, aircraft systems, and aircraft engines. I think that, in parallel with your studies, we are creating an environment that will be interested in such specialists. It is always better to show yourself in new projects, because traditional one tends to be more conservative. New projects are a good start for young people.”
