Note that for all of the degrees, only a subset of the subjects listed here would have to be taken. The degrees are currently being restructured and the courses listed here are for the current cohort of students in each year. The first year concentrates on the physics and mathematics which underlies the degree. A practical highlight is the Engineering Skills course which features model aircraft building. The second year continues to lay the foundations for the final two years by concentrating on engineering mechanics.
All students also attend a workshop practice course which runs throughout the year.
The third year exploits the engineering skills obtained to examine some key aerospace disciplines such as aerodynamics, flight mechanics and aircraft structures. The year ends with an in-flight tests course. The final year of the BEng features the in-depth study of flight mechanics, aerodynamics and structures topics. A research project is undertaken in association with one of the department's research groupings as a significant part of the final assessment. The MEng year features projects in a UK company and a European Research Lab.
