Course Overview

Engineers are innovators who bring about change through their ingenuity, experience, and curiosity to improve the quality of life for people worldwide. Their work is central to thriving economies and competitive industries. It is equally important in developing countries where engineers provide appropriate technologies during difficult times of change. Professional engineers have a high degree of specialist knowledge but increasingly use a broad approach to problem-solving across various engineering disciplines. This is coupled with an awareness of the environmental, social, legal, economic, and regulatory aspects of the problem. Vis aerospace industry companies may give specialised lectures on topics such as flight dynamics, aircraft navigation, aero-engine design, aerospace materials, and aircraft performance. You will have the opportunity to attend a practical flight test course or to use a flight simulator to enhance your knowledge and skills in aerospace engineering.
