Aerospace Engineering - AEROA13710

Stream Summary

Faculty: Faculty of Engineering

School: School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

Contact: http://www.mech.unsw.edu.au/

Program: 3710 - Mechanical & Manufacturing Eng

Award(s):

Bachelor of Engineering (Major)

Stream Outline
The Aerospace Engineering stream covers the analysis, design and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. Graduates work mainly on the design and manufacture of flight vehicles, their operation with major or satellite airlines and research for civil and military aerospace organisations. Owing to the international nature of aerospace industry, the topics studied cover a similar area and, in general, to the same depth of understanding as professional training programs in aerospace in other industrial countries. The aerospace industry is one of Australia's major exporters of high value added manufactured goods.

The Faculty has approved an arrangement whereby students who satisfy the requirements of the first two years of a Mechanical Engineering four year degree program at any Australasian tertiary institution may be admitted to Years 3 and 4 of the stream leading to the Bachelor of Engineering degree in Aerospace Engineering. The proviso is that the Head of School is satisfied that the courses studied at the other institution are equivalent, and he gives his recommendation.
