This course provides a strategic and practical overview of aerospace engineering and management. You will apply techniques such as advanced computer-based design, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Elements Analysis, and machine Learning and AI techniques with Aerospace Application. Complementary subjects include advanced CAD/CAM and green engineering and energy efficiency.
Each module combines a stimulating mix of lectures, practical laboratory work, group work, case studies and presentations. Towards the end of the course, the Aerospace Group Design Project will enable you to undertake a real-world problem in a virtual engineering environment. You will also develop an awareness of working in a multidisciplinary team within an engineering organisation with real industrial constraints.
Many of our staff are research active. This ensures they are in touch with the latest thinking and bring best practice to your studies.
The Aerospace Research Group specialises in space activities, ranging from electric propulsion and planetary robotic exploration to in-orbit servicing technology development. Current research projects are investigating topics within:
- computational fluid dynamics
- aircraft structures
- astronautics and space systems.
