Aeronautical Engineering Beng (Hon)

Master the theoretical, experimental and computational skills required for careers in the aeronautical industry.<br/><br/>Aeronautical Engineering is one of the fastest-growing industries in the UK, with extensive career opportunities in research and development, testing and maintenance.<br/><br/>This course covers the basic principles of aeronautical engineering, including experimental and theoretical aerodynamics, aircraft design, flight dynamics and control, aircraft propulsion, flight simulation technologies, aircraft structures and computational aerodynamics.<br/><br/>Employment opportunities include careers in aeronautics and aerospace, namely aircraft aerodynamics, wind turbine design and maintenance, aviation management, defense sector, aircraft maintenance, repair and operation services (MRO).<br/><br/>You can study Aeronautical Engineering either as a three-year BEng (Hons) programme, or as a four-year integrated master’s. At the end of year three, you have the option of graduating with a BEng or continuing your studies for a further year for a MEng, subject to meeting the progression requirements. <br/><br/>**Key features**<br/>- Accreditation from the Institute of Engineering and Technology will help you start your journey towards Chartered Engineer status*.<br/><br/><br/>- Benefit from block teaching, where most students study one subject at a time. A simple timetable will allow you to really engage with your learning, receive regular feedback and assessments, get to know your course mates and enjoy a better study-life balance.<br/><br/><br/>- Study a range of topics including aircraft structures and materials, flight dynamics and control, and aircraft propulsion systems.<br/><br/><br/>- Benefit from the academic expertise of researchers who have experience of collaborating with international institutions such as the National Aerospace Laboratories India, Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute Russia and AMST-Systemtechnik GmbH Austria.<br/><br/><br/>- Our AIRFOX DISO simulator is integrated to the programme providing a first-hand experience in flight simulator technologies.<br/><br/><br/>- Use our instrumented low speed wind tunnel facility to understand the fundamentals of aerodynamics, test prototype aircraft models and acquire experimental skills relevant to aeronautics and wind tunnel testing.<br/><br/><br/>- Access industry-standard software packages used in aeronautical engineering applications and research, such as MATLAB, ANSYS and OpenFOAM, which will give you the ability to work confidently in industry. <br/><br/><br/>- Meet like-minded people and gain hands-on practical skills by joining our student societies, such as DMU Flyers. <br/>
