About this course
BEng/MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Aeronautics, a mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering degree connecting aeronautics and mechanical systems. Core topics include Engineering Design and Entrepreneurship. MEng students take part in a flight-testing course in a Saab 340B aircraft. The first year covers core foundations through Aerospace Engineering 1, Design and Manufacture 1, Statics 1, and Thermodynamics 1. The second year progresses with Mechanical Design 2, Aerodynamics & Aircraft Performance 2, Fluid Mechanics 2, and Mechanics of Structures 2A. The third year builds advanced competence via Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics 3, Control 3, Propulsion & Turbomachinery 3, and Flight Mechanics 3. The final year involves an Individual Project 4, Aerospace Design Project 4, Finite Element Analysis 4, and Business Planning and Management for Engineers. The fifth year includes Individual Project 5.
