Program Overview

The Bachelor of Aerospace Systems Engineering (Honours) program is a four-year undergraduate degree that focuses on the design, efficient operation, and modification of high-tech devices for the aeronautical and defence industries. This program is being discontinued and is no longer available to new students.

Description

Aerospace systems engineering involves a systems approach to the design, efficient operation, and modification of high-tech devices for the aeronautical and defence industries. A key challenge for the development of aerospace systems is the need to be as light-weight as possible, yet highly reliable. Aerospace systems engineers need to understand and control the response of aerospace vehicles to complex interactions between sensors, controllers, actuators, and other aircraft subsystems to ensure trouble-free, safe, and efficient operations.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program, graduates will have:

• A comprehensive, theory-based understanding of engineering fundamentals and/or the underpinning natural and physical sciences as applicable to the engineering discipline.
• A conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering discipline.
• In-depth specialist knowledge in the specific engineering discipline.
• The ability to discern knowledge development and research directions within the engineering discipline.
• Knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline.
• An understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities, and bounds of contemporary engineering practice in the specific discipline.
• The ability to apply established engineering methods to complex engineering problem-solving.
• The ability to fluently apply engineering techniques, tools, and resources.
• The ability to apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes.
• The ability to apply systematic approaches to the conduct and management of engineering projects.
• Ethical conduct and professional accountability skills.
• Effective oral and/or written communication skills in professional and lay domains.
• A creative, innovative, and pro-active demeanour.
• Professional use and management of information skills.
• Orderly management of self and professional conduct skills.
• Effective team membership and team leadership skills.

Admission Requirements

Admission to this program is available to Australian citizens and residents only. Eligibility for admission to this program is based on applicants meeting the minimum selection rank, or satisfying the requirements for an approved admission scheme.
