Aerospace Technology

This course is designed to provide you with the opportunity to acquire the vital technical and management skills required to join and support the engineering teams, to solve these multi-disciplinary problems in the aerospace industry.

This course gives you the opportunity to develop a thorough understanding of the principles of mechanical, electrical and aerospace engineering, and how this knowledge is applied in the development of projects for aerospace systems and their management. 

This course is designed to provide you with the opportunity to acquire the vital technical and management skills required to join and support the engineering teams, to solve these multi-disciplinary problems in the aerospace industry.

• This course offers a variety of curriculum and learning opportunities, industry insight and a range of technical facilities⁴.
• This course aims to enable you to develop and critically analyse engineering technologies, components and processes utilised in the aerospace industry.
• The course is designed for engineering students that are interested in working in the global aerospace sector. You can expect to learn how to apply your engineering knowledge to address the rapid development of technology and the requirement for cost-effective carbon-reduction solutions.
• This course aims to meet the demand for skilled engineers and upon successful completion, graduate career prospects could be wide-ranging and possibly include design, manufacturing, MRO engineering and management.
• The highly practical and technical focus of the programme concentrates on engineering mathematics, aircraft systems, control systems, aerodynamics, aircraft structures and manufacturing, mechanical engineering and engineering management - all of which aim to give you the opportunity to build a strong base from which to start professional work in aerospace design, using the latest software tools⁴.;

Careers and opportunities

On successful completion of the course a student will be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific and mathematical principles to solve application problems in the aerospace industry. 
• Using quantitative and computational methods, interpret the results of analysis and modelling of an aerospace application problem to recommend an appropriate action using relevant technology. 
• Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of design, design processes and limitations, and life cycle management in developing solutions.  
  Clearly and appropriately communicate complete solutions using both written and oral formats. 
• Understand the need for professional and ethical conduct in a commercial, economic and social context, by appraising the sustainable development and the regulations governing engineering activities in order to critique the risk, legal and contractual issues and intellectual property. 
• Demonstrate knowledge of a range of aerospace products, processes, materials and standards, including an awareness of quality issues and their application to continuous improvement. 
• Evaluate uncertain and incomplete technical data/information and perform practical laboratory work in order to identify the impact on design. 
• Develop independent learning and problem-solving skills appropriate to current and future study and employment. 
• Apply management techniques by contributing to a team with the necessary planning, monitoring, adaptability, drive and leadership to achieve the required objectives of an aerospace-related project.
