Overview

In this program, students will be exposed to problems specific to the aerospace industry such as how a vehicle moves, how high and how fast it can travel, how it holds together under the forces it experiences and how it is kept on course. Students analyse and solve these problems using their knowledge of mechanics and dynamics, materials and joining methods, thermodynamics, heat transfer, vibrations, guidance, control and modelling techniques. The first two years of the program have a strong emphasis on design and engineering science fundamentals. This allows students to build a solid foundation in core mechanical engineering skills and knowledge and includes mathematics and physics with an introduction to the basic principles of design, stress analysis, thermodynamics, materials, fluid mechanics, physiology, anatomy, control and computer programming, complemented by laboratory and project work. In the third year, students undertake some mechanical engineering courses in thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, environmental engineering, vibrations, control and solid mechanics as well as specialist aerospace specific courses. The fourth year is almost entirely focused on specialist aerospace engineering courses.
Students are also required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience during their study. Graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical and Aerospace) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years.
