- University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies
The University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies, or UTIAS (pronounced you-TIE-us), was established in 1949. It serves as both a premier research institute, and a
graduate school , offering masters and doctorate degrees.It is officially part of the St. George Campus of the
University of Toronto , although it is situated at a significant distance from the campus, at the Northern edge of the city ofToronto . The Institute forms part of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.In recent years, the institute has seen a number of firsts: world's first
microwave -powered aircraft, the world's first engine-poweredornithopter (both inventions ofJames DeLaurier ), and Canada's first spacetelescope MOST. The major expertise areas represented areaircraft design , particularly atsubsonic speeds,flight simulation ,space robotics , microsatellite technology,computational fluid dynamics andnuclear fusion . It has a close relationship withBombardier , NASA Ames, andMD Robotics (formerlySpar Aerospace ).At the present time there are about 80 students enrolled in M.A.Sc., M.Eng., and Ph.D. programs. In addition, Institute staff provides undergraduate teaching in aerospace studies through the Aerospace Option of the Engineering Science program.
