Why study Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering?
Mechanical and Aerospace engineering is based on the mechanical engineering program. Students can then choose to take specialised courses primarily in either the aeronautical or space area. Aerospace engineering is concerned with the design, manufacture and operation of aircraft, launch vehicles, satellites, spacecraft and ground support facilities. It is a particularly challenging discipline because of the need for light weight and extremely reliable designs. This requires students to make use of cutting-edge technology and design methods. Aerospace engineering projects tend to be multidisciplinary in nature because of the scientific content of many of the payloads and the complex thermo-physical aspects involved in operations such as hypervelocity atmospheric flight. All workers in this field must be adept at incorporating technology from outside their immediate specialty. Graduates will be qualified as Mechanical Engineers and will have an understanding of key issues in the field of aerospace engineering.
Mechanical and aerospace engineering is available in the dual major only.
