The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) (Honours) prepares students how to design aircraft and spacecraft, develop propulsion systems, research new materials, test new engines, develop rockets and plan maintenance subjects.
In this internationally recognized degree students will gain specialist skills in analyzing, designing, and operating sophisticated aeronautics and astronautics hardware and software.
Students will study a broad range of areas such as aerodynamics, aerospace materials and structures, aerospace systems, design, dynamics and control, thermodynamics, and propulsion.
Minor options in Aircraft and Spacecraft Technologies will allow students to tailor the degree to suit their areas of interest and enhance their career opportunities.
Sustainability issues are built into multiple areas of the aerospace engineering degree. This increases students' employability as there is increasing demand for long-term engineering solutions in this industry. They will also learn to appreciate the wider social implications of the engineering profession.
Students will have the opportunity to apply their learning in the real world through capstone projects, industry placements, and participation in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.
