MEng Aeronautical Engineering

Course Description

For the first three years, you will study alongside those on the BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering. This will give you the opportunity to learn fundamental engineering principles, further develop your knowledge and skills and gain an appreciation for concepts relevant to aeronautical engineering. In your fourth year, your additional year of study, you will apply what you’ve already learned on a substantial project. Year One * Mathematics for Engineers * Electrical and Electronic Principles 1 * Design and Manufacture * Professional Practice for Engineers * Engineering Mechanics 1 * Thermofluids for Engineers Year Two * 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 * Finite Element Analysis* * Computational Fluid Dynamics* * Aircraft Maintenance Management* * Aircraft Materials* * Aircraft Structures* * Aircraft Stability and Control * Propulsion * Individual Project (BEng) – 30 credits Year Four * Business and Risk Management * Integrative Group Project – 40 credits * Further Finite Element Analysis* * Further Computational Fluid Dynamics* * Advanced Propulsion* * Further Aircraft Materials* * Further Aircraft Structures The above information is a sample module description for illustrative purposes.
