  • Turkey Aerospace & Defense
    TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 AEROSPACE TURKEY TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 Aerospace - Defense - Original Equipment Manufacturers Platforms - Clusters - Multinationals - Sub-Tier Suppliers Distinguished GBR Readers, Since the inception of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries 30 years ago, significant steps have been taken to achieve the goals of having the Turkish armed forces equipped with modern systems and technologies and promoting the development of the Turkish defense industry. In the last decade alone, the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector's total turnover quadrupled, while exports have increased fivefold, reaching $5.1 billion and $1.65 billion in 2014, respectively. The industry's investment in research and development (R&D) reached almost $1 billion in 2014. The total workforce in the A&D industry reached 30,000 personnel, of which 30% are engineers. Even more remarkable, Turkey is now at the stage of offering its own platforms for both the local market and to international allies, and has commenced a series of follow up local programs. Although this progress has been achieved under the circumstances of a healthy and consistent political environment and in parallel with sustained growth in the Turkish economy, the proportion of expenditure for defense in the national budget and as a percentage of Turkey’s GDP has been stable. With the help of the national, multinational and joint defense industry projects that have been undertaken in Turkey by the undersecretariat, the defense industry has become a highly capable community comprising large-scale main contractors, numerous sub- system manufacturers, small- and medium-sized enterprises, R&D companies who are involved in high-tech, niche areas, research institutes, and universities.

  • Astronomy and Space Science Curricula at University Level in Pakistan
    The Sindh University Journal of Education Vol.42 Issue 2012-13, Pp.40-54 INGILA RAHIM* MUHAMMAD RASHID KAMAL ANSARI** TEACHING OF ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCE: ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCE CURRICULA AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL IN PAKISTAN Abstract It is the Continuation of our review of contents of astronomy and space Sciences curricula in Pakistan (I. Rahim, R.K. Ansari, A.K.Zai, 2011) which dealt with only pre-university level curricula in Pakistan whereas, the present study reviews the university level curricula in Pakistan. There are two types of higher education institutions in Pakistan. The state governed (Public sector) universities and institutes and the private sector universities and degree issuing institutions. Also, there are institutions under military control and R & D organizations. We will review the curricula of some such institutions and compare with curricula of United Nations programs on space applications. It is concluded that the standard and span of AS and SS courses at university level curricula in Pakistan have highly been raised. However, no institution is granting degree in the specific area of commercial and industrial uses of space. This means that as a nation we have just stepped on but not yet have started the journey to participate in the activities of industrialization and Commercialization of space and more efforts have to be put in this regard.
