Aerospace Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year Meng (Hon)

An aerospace professional needs to be able to communicate effectively with experts in different fields. By the time you graduate, youll have plenty of experience with this.<br/><br/>All first year students also take the Global Engineering Challenge, where teams of students work to solve engineering problems in developing countries. This is designed to develop you as a professional engineer and enhance your career prospects. Second years get to work on a project to solve a problem set by one of our industrial partners.<br/><br/>Your year in industry will put your studies into context and enhance your career prospects. You will pay a reduced fee to the University for that year and youll be paid a salary.<br/><br/>After completing a programme of core study, youll choose either the avionic systems or aeromechanics stream. In your final year, youll work on a research project led by one of our world leading academics.<br/><br/>We cover aero propulsion, aerodynamic design, aircraft dynamics and control, computational aerodynamics and project management. Youll complete a group project where youll design, build and fly an unmanned aerial vehicle. Your study includes some experience of flight instrumentation and an individual investigative project of your choice.<br/><br/>This course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
