The BEng (Hons) Aircraft Engineering has been designed in partnership with the aerospace industry and will provide you with the skills required to work effectively in the aircraft design, manufacturing, aerodynamic and structural design, and repair and overhaul sectors.
Aircraft engineers are responsible for the safety of thousands of air passengers every year. They play a critical role in the design and certification of an airworthy aircraft in accordance with aviation standards.
Designed in partnership with aerospace industry employers, this course includes visits to organizations such as Spirit AeroSystems and British Airways. A number of final-year projects are also undertaken in collaboration with the industry.
Many international applicants (see exemnationalities) are advised that they will need to obtain an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate before they can be considered for an unconditional offer of study on this undergraduate integratmaster'sers course.
Entry Clearance Officers (ECO) will ask to see your ATAS certificate as part of your visa application process.
UK immigration law does not allow universities to permit international students to study for an ATAS-applicable course until the student has supplied the university with all the relevant ATAS certificate details for their application.
20 hours per week.
Applied statics and dynamics, materials, and mathematics provide a foundation for engineering design. Professional and industrial studies are introduced alongside skills development in communications and IT technology.
Topics include the design of aerospace structures and systems, strength of materials, vibration theory, materials, and manufacturing technology. The formal engineering design process and how it relates to aircraft engineering practice is introduced; as well as computer-aided design and information technology-related techniques.
Skills in design and applied mechanics are enhanced. Aerodynamics and aircraft performance; intelligent systems and control technologies; aircraft design and modeling; advanced computer-based analysis and simulation techniques are introduced, along with project management skills.
Aerodynamic understanding is enhanced whilst the design, analysis and testing of composite structures are introduced. Computer-aided engineering design is explored further through finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics are introduced. Aircraft conceptual design and a major individual project complete the learning in Year 4.
