ITA & the Future 6

Mandate from upper level Brazilian government to duplicate the number of undergraduate students More than 500 students would be able to enter ITA each year. The duplication will not jeopardize excellence Expansion will require student accommodation, new laboratories, reviewing classroom facilities, adopting teaching aid techniques and planning new courses. ITA will require: 200 new faculty positions in the years to come. Visiting professors and post doc recruiting DUPLICATION: OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSFORM ITA - Major challenges considering expanding with growth: Increased cooperation with industry, research and education institutions; Internationalization and globalization without losing identity; New requirement profiles in engineering education; Alignment with strategic areas: aerospace, defense and main technological challenges in Brazil. ITA & THE FUTURE

A High Level Research Orientation and Support Management Group SUPPORT ON ITA´s TRANSFORMATION New cooperation; Internationalization; Engineering education modernization; Technological challenges in Brazil and around the world.

Motivation & Inspiration Visionary concepts in aeronautics – Technological challenges – higher energetic efficiency and lower environmental impact Industry needs: Demand from the aviation future, guiding R&D towards ecological demands and related affairs (economic, social and political) : – International Civil Aviation Organization – ICAO (Environmental Report – Horizon 2020 (The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation) – CleanSky (Single European Sky environmental objectives) – NASA/FAA NextGen Programs Academia: fertile substract – plurality of knowledge, multidisciplinary, training and contact with people – Environment-oriented engineering education 18/10/20159Prof. Roberto Gil

LNCA Vision & Mission Research orientation: Based on a proposed core competency of the lab  application of modeling and simulation methodologies – Development of new flight physics oriented methodologies for new aerospace design concepts. Opportunity for redefining engineering at ITA  innovation for environmental sustainability, as a relevant theme – Investment in creation, innovation and entrepreneurship within the academic environment – Identification of research opportunities and needs from the productive sector. Beneficiaries : Aerospace and Defense, as well as Undergraduate and Graduate programs at ITA and associate partners.

Strategy Innovative laboratory with the primary goal of being a "think thank" driven by the aeronautical needs Identification of the aviation scenario in the future.
