About this course
Bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautics and Astronautics, an aerospace engineering degree focused on the scientific, technical, and manufacturing principles of aircraft and spacecraft. Core topics include Systems Design, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, and Engineering Design. Students take part in practical design modules in every year and complete an individual research project in the final stage. The first year establishes engineering foundations through Aerospace Electronics, Aerospace Materials, Data Science & Computational Methods, Introduction to Aeronautics & Astronautics, Introduction to Aerospace Design, Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment, Statics & Dynamics, and Thermofluids for Aerospace Engineers. The second year expands into specialized subjects with Advanced Aerospace Systems Design, Aerodynamics, Aerospace Mechanics & Control, Aerospace Structures, Astronautics, Digital Aerospace Methods, Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment Part II, and Propulsion. The third year covers Advanced Aerospace Mechanics And Control, Aerothermodynamics, Individual Project, and Management & Law for Aerospace Engineers. Optional modules in the final year allow students to choose areas such as Advanced Aeronautics, Advanced Astronautics, Aircraft Structural Design, Concurrent Space Systems Design, Introduction to Aircraft Design, and Spacecraft Structural Design.
