Career Outcomes
Aerospace Engineers are involved in the design, development, manufacture and maintenance work on aeroplanes, helicopters, spacecraft and satellites. Graduates are employed by the RAAF, RAN and by government bodies such as the Defence Research Centres and the Civil Aviation Authority. There are also career opportunities with aerospace companies, aircraft maintenance and aeronautical consulting services. Opportunities outside aerospace also exist in the areas of electronics, process control, instrument manufacture and automotive equipment.
Overview
Students study aerodynamics, aircraft control systems, avionics navigation and communication. In later years of the degree, specialist study is undertaken in design of aircraft and satellite systems including systems engineering methodology, aircraft and satellite technology and applications. As many of the teaching staff are involved in relevant research with government and industry sectors, students have the opportunity to work on real projects during their studies.
Professional Recognition
Full professional accreditation from Engineers Australia has been given for this course.
Optional Pathway
Subject to normal course entry rules students may transfer internally from the QUT Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) course to this degree after the completion of the first year full-time if they have obtained a sufficiently high grade point average that will meet the course cut-off for that year.
Special Course Requirements
In order to graduate students must complete 70 days approved industrial experience in an engineering environment as approved by the course coordinator, including 10 days specialist experience in the avionics industry.
International Student Entry
International students must maintain an enrolment program that will allow them to complete their course within the specified timeframe of their eCoE (electronic Confirmation of Enrolment).
