Overview

This specialisation has had one or more changes made to it since publication on 1 October 2021. For details of changes, please consult the 2022 Change register.

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.

Structure

Parts C. and D. Aerospace engineering knowledge, application and professional practice108 credit points

You must complete the following core aerospace engineering units.
NOTE: If you completed MAE2505 as a First Year technical elective, you must replace the core with another unit at the same level or higher from the aerospace engineering technical electives list.

Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points

Studying single degree engineering

36 credit points

In single-degree engineering, you must complete 36 credit points of elective study after Year 1. In Year 2, the 12 credit points of electives can be level 1, 2 or 3 units from engineering or other faculties. In Years 3 and 4, the 24 credit points of electives must be level 3, 4 or 5 engineering units. You may use your elective study to complete an engineering minor that will complement your engineering specialisation or choose from your specialisation technical electives list.

Aerospace engineering technical electives

36 credit points

You may consider other engineering technical units chosen from the engineering minors, subject to meeting the unit prerequisite or co-requisite rules.
NOTE: To enrol in a level 5 unit listed below, you must obtain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of level 3 and be in your final year.

Studying a double degree with engineering

The 36 credit points of specialisation 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.
