Course Details

BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering

Course Description

Year One Year one provides you with basic knowledge of routine mathematical methods,essential scientific principles, and engineering practices. It is your introduction to the use of design tools, manufacturing and workshop techniques, health and safety protocols, project management and professional practice. * Mathematics for Engineers * Electrical and Electronic Principles 1 * Design and Manufacture * Professional Practice for Engineers * Engineering Mechanics 1 * Thermofluids for Engineers Year Two In your second year, you will begin to explore key areas such as aerodynamics and flight mechanics, supported by further mathematics and mechanics. You will develop a practical engineering base through group work on aircraft design, and understand regulatory and environmental requirements. * Further Mathematics for Engineers* * Business and Finance for Engineers* * Engineering Mechanics 2 * Engineering Material Science * Aerodynamics * Aircraft Systems & Performance * Design for Aeronautical Engineers Year Three Year three modules cover a range of technical subjects including stability and control,propulsion, aircraft materials and structures,and modelling techniques. The modules allow you to evaluate and analyse key challenges in aeronautical engineering and devise costeffective solutions. You will learn about planning, operations, regulations, health and safety, and management, which are important issues within aeronautical engineering. You will also have flying lessons and complete a project in a topic of your choice. * Finite Element Analysis* * Computational Fluid Dynamics* * Aircraft Maintenance Management* * Aircraft Materials* * Aircraft Structures* * Aircraft Stability and Control * Propulsion * Individual Project (BEng) – 30 credits *10 credit module The above information is a sample module description for illustrative purposes. Modules and module content may change from time to time.
