Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace) with Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences
BE(Ae)/BMa
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 5 years
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Double Degree |
This double degree program is specifically aimed at students wishing to pursue careers in the aerospace and mathematical and computer sciences industry. This program will enable students to develop a thorough understanding of mechanical and aerospace engineering principles, combined with the flexibility to aquire knowledge in applied mathematics, statistics and computer science.
Aerospace Engineering is focused on the development and use of new technologies and materials that are relevant to any high-tech industry including the aerospace industry. The first two years of the program are identical to the mechanical engineering program with a strong emphasis on design and engineering science fundamentals. In the third year, 50 percent of the program is devoted to aerospace engineering courses such as high-tech materials, aeronautics, aerodynamics, aircraft design, computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, fracture mechanics and space vehicle design. In the fourth year the content is almost entirely devoted to specialist aerospace engineering courses including aerospace propulsion, high speed aerodynamics, astrophysics, and guidance and control.
The aerospace engineering program contains courses that cover a wide range of relevant areas, resulting in graduates who are well prepared for careers in the aerospace industry and other high-tech industries. However, as the program includes 2.5 years that are the same as the mechanical engineering degree, graduates in aerospace engineering will retain flexibility in their choice. In most situations graduates will also be able to work wherever mechanical engineers are employed.
Students may choose to combine Aerospace Engineering with Mathematical and Computer Sciences as it will strengthen their skills in mathematics, statistics and computing. Combining this program with a strong mathematics program will provide an opportunity for research and enhanced employment prospects.
