About this course
BEng in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering, an aerospace engineering degree centred on the development of aircraft and spacecraft. The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aeronautical Society, and allows students to transfer to a four-year integrated Masters at the end of the second year. The first year covers core foundations through Computers in Engineering Analysis, Design and Manufacture 1, Thermofluids 1, Solid Mechanics, Engineering Materials and Engineering Mathematics. The second year progresses to Engineering Mechanics, Design and Manufacture 2, Economics and Management, Vibration Control and Measurement Systems and Thermofluids 2. The final year focuses on advanced concepts and applications through an Individual Engineering Project, Design of Unmanned Air Vehicles for Volcano Plume Tracking, Urban Building Surveillance, Rainforest Fire Emergency Response, Aeroelastic analysis of wings using low-fidelity modelling, Aerospace Vehicle Design, Aerodynamics and Aerospace Propulsion, Aerospace Flight Mechanics and Computational Fluid and Structural Mechanics.
