Requisite map
Overview
Aerospace engineers design, develop and maintain flight vehicles. You will acquire skills, knowledge and experience in aerodynamics, aerostructures, avionics, propulsion, flight control and material science.
In this specialisation, you will have the opportunity to also pursue a minor in an engineering discipline that complements aerospace engineering.
Availability
Aerospace engineering is listed in E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Clayton as an undergraduate specialisation.

Professional Practice domain
6 credit pointsPart D. Professional practice
Part E. Elective studies36 credit points
- In year 2: 12 credit points at Level 1, 2 or 3 from the Faculty of Engineering or other faculties;
- In years 3 and 4: 24 credit points at Level 3, 4 or 5 from the Technical electives list.
Note 1: Electives must be completed at the required unit level to satisfy the course requirements.
Note 2: You may use your elective studies to complete an engineering minor, or any unit from an engineering minor, that will complement your specialisation. If you select a single unit you must ensure you meet the unit prerequisites or co-requisite rules. This will allow you to tailor your studies and broaden your knowledge within the field of engineering while still aligning with your chosen specialisation.
Note 3: You may enrol in up to two units (12 credit points) at Level 5. To be eligible to enrol in Level 5 units, you must obtain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of Level 3 and be in your final year of study. If you intend to enrol in the Master of Engineering, completing Level 5 units that are core in the Master's course will reduce the total duration of your Master's study.
Double degree students are not required to complete this Part. The 36 credit points of aerospace engineering technical electives normally required in the single degree have been credited towards the double degree structure and therefore not a requirement in the double degree courses.

Notes
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours): Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
CPD is a compulsory requirement for all Engineering students. You must complete 420 hours of continuous professional development in order to graduate with the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) qualification. It is a collection of all work including volunteer, personal and professional practice experiences outside the classroom which may be in the form of 12 weeks of relevant vacation employment or an equivalent combination of approved professional development and/or engineering employment taken throughout the duration of the course. You must submit a series of reflections on your experience with particular reference to the development of each of the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies. Visit the Student Experience website for more information about professional development.
