Bachelor of Aerospace Systems Engineering (Honours)
نظرة عامة على البرنامج
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.
