Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Aeronautical Engineering)

As an aeronautical engineering student, you will be taught by leading professionals within the aerospace industry through hands-on learning throughout your degree.

You will develop a complex understanding of flight vehicle design, including knowledge of aerodynamics, propulsion systems, structural design, materials, avionics, and stability and control systems.During your degree you will participate in construction of a light aircraft, developing a multifaceted knowledge of design, operations and aeronautical regulations.

Through this process you will also learn that maintaining and operating a flight vehicle requires a deep understanding of materials, reliability and maintenance.

This knowledge will equip you to structurally analyse and assess aircraft for repairs.In your third year you will conduct hands-on experiments with wind-tunnel tests, gain elementary flying experience and design your own industry-style test projects.

You will complete a final-year honours thesis that enables you to specialise in a particular aerospace field, such as helicopter design, structural optimisation or experimental aerodynamics.As part of your degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.The majors that best align with this degree are Space Engineering, Engineering Design and Computational Design.
