Aerospace Engineering (joint degree with SIT)
Aerospace Engineering is an advanced engineering discipline concerned with the theory, design, manufacture and testing of flight vehicles. In addition to traditional fixed-wing and rotary wing aircraft, the degree programme approaches the discipline from a modern perspective with a focus on micro air vehicles and unmanned aerial systems. While mathematics and physical laws govern the design of flight vehicles and advance the theory of flight vehicles, a diverse range of subjects is studied, including Aircraft Performance, Flight Mechanics, Aircraft Propulsion, Flight Dynamics, Computational Aerodynamics and Flight, Guidance and Navigational Control Systems. Although Aerospace Engineering is a highly advanced and specialised engineering discipline, the degree programme is highly multi-disciplinary due the nature of aircraft, and therefore provide a wide range of employment opportunities. The analytical and problem-solving skills of the Aerospace Engineering graduate are well regarded by employers and researchers.
