On-campus (Clayton)
Intake into this course ceased in 2004. Levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the course will be phased out over the next four years.
The
five-year course combines units from the four-year mechanical engineering and
three-year aerospace technology degrees. The final qualification is a
double-degree in mechanical engineering and aerospace technology, Bachelor of
Engineering/Bachelor of Technology (Aerospace). The aerospace degree is fully
integrated within the program and cannot be taken separately.
The first year of the program introduced students to the history and theory of
flight. In the second year, students will take introductory units in mechanics,
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and design. Students will also be introduced to
specialist aerospace topics in materials and structures. The third and fourth
years of the program build on the basic material already introduced. During
these two years, topics covered will include avionics, aerodynamics, flight
mechanics and propulsion, as well as mechanical engineering design. The final
year of the program has a number of project-based units as well as elective
units.
Students should refer to 'Course map 10 - Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Technology (Aerospace)' at the back of this section for an outline of the course requirements for this program.
