Mechanical with Aerospace

Overview

Aerospace engineers apply the principles of engineering to flight vehicles and to space vehicles. Students who undertake the Mechanical with Aerospace specialisation of the Master of Engineering will take five advanced technical subjects that have been tailored specifically towards aerospace applications. These include subjects in fluid mechanics, propulsion and aerospace control. Given the firm grounding of the course in mechanical engineering, career opportunities are extensive across both aerospace and mechanical engineering.
