Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Mechanical and Aerospace)

The first two years of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical and Aerospace) are almost identical to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical), enabling students to build a solid foundation and core skills and knowledge in mechanical engineering.
Studies include mathematics, physics and an introduction to the basic principles of design, structural analysis, thermodynamics, materials, fluid mechanics, control and computer programming.
This is complemented by laboratory and project work.
In the third year, students undertake some mechanical engineering courses in thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, environmental engineering, vibrations, control and solid mechanics as well as specialist aerospace-specific courses.
These include aeronautical engineering, space vehicle design, applied aerodynamics, aerospace structures and materials.
The fourth year is almost entirely focused on specialist aerospace engineering courses such as advanced fluid mechanics, flight dynamics, aircraft design, advanced control, computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis of structures and aerospace propulsion.
Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience.
Academic Program Rules The Calendar is a comprehensive handbook of the University's academic program rules.

Some students may need to modify their enrolment based on previous study (e.
g.
students granted advanced standing/credit, students repeating previously failed courses).
ENGINEERING COMMUNICATION Unless exempted by the Faculty, all international students are required to take Engineering Communication.
At the commencement of study, the Faculty will advise which course is to be replaced by ENG 3003 Engineering Communication EAL.
COURSE AVAILABILITY^Check the course planner for course availability noting the availability of all courses is conditional on the availability of staff and facilities.
