Y73 Bachelor of Technology (Aeronautical) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Bachelor of Technology (Aeronautical) is a three year course intended for students who have an interest in aviation, aeronautics, and flying and wish to have the option of expanding their studies into a pathway towards becoming an accredited professional in an engineering field. Graduating students will be guaranteed a place in the School's Master of Engineering course (specialising in either Mechanical or Civil Engineering) enabling students to achieve professional engineer status after a further two years of study.
Aeronautical technology deals with the engineering aspects of aviation, including aviation system design, aircraft manufacturing, and aircraft operation. Areas of study within the course include a foundation in physics and mathematics along with engineering mechanics, computer aided design, engineering materials, and thermodynamics and fluids, in addition to specific aeronautical technology subjects, which cover aircraft systems and structures, aircraft propulsion, and aerodynamics. Graduates will also gain an understanding of the operation and performance of aircraft from the point-of-view of the pilot. The course focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant to the aviation industry and, along with a sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical problem solving, team work, and project work. As a result, as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill competencies, graduates will have strong analytical skills and the ability to contribute to complex projects. |
