Overview
Engineering Technology degrees within UNSW Canberra provide outstanding technology education to the future leaders of the Australian Defence Force and encourage excellence through contributions to the engineering profession, industry and community.
The BTech (Av) program is based on core engineering subjects, however specialist components of the BTech (Av) program focus … For more content click the Read More button below.
A key element in this program is the focus on the role of people as key components in a technologically advanced and complex aviation system. There is particular emphasis on the role of human operators (e.g. pilots, air combat officers and air traffic controllers) in aviation infrastructure and safety management systems. Other courses such as aerodynamics and aircraft systems often incorporate problem-based learning informed by academic research and industrial practice. Electives and a final semester project enable students to pursue particular interests both within and outside the specialist discipline.
The BTech (Av) program is designed for potential pilots, navigators and air traffic controllers entering the Australian Defence Force. It is differentiated from the BTech (Aero) program in that there is greater focus on the role of humans in the operation of complex aerospace systems. This program does not provide a short articulation pathway to Bachelor of Engineering.
