What is Aerospace Engineering?

Aerospace Engineering is concerned with the science and practice of air and space flight, the design, development, testing and production of aerospace vehicles, the maintenance and operation of aircraft and in aerospace research. There is a flexible common first year for all BE degrees in the Faculty of Engineering except Software Engineering and Bioinformatics. This will allow students to select electives in first year and later years of the program. A typical program sequence is shown below:
