Computational engineering is a core skill for aerospace engineers looking to optimise designs. This four-year degree provides excellent preparation for aeronautics and astronautics research and for a role as a professional engineer. Students can also take the Industrial Placement Year, providing the opportunity for a year-long placement with an engineering-based organisation. On this integrated masters course you will learn about computational methods in aeronautics and astronautics and will have the opportunity to apply these to new and emerging design challenges. The first two years are identical to the BEng and MEng Aeronautics and Astronautics courses with a combination of engineering technology and management modules being taken in the last two. You will examine current design challenges and learn to solve those using advanced computational methods. We will also develop your understanding of computational fluid dynamics. The first two years will enhance your core knowledge of engineering science.  They are identical to the BEng and MEng in Aeronautics and Astronautics. You will also take a practical week-long course in flight testing, where experiments are performed on board a Jetstream aircraft. Practical design is integrated through all four years of the course. You will bring your conceptual designs to life through individual and group projects. Previous project examples include the design and build of an unmanned air vehicle. In your final year, you will have the option to specialise in your theme with modules including Design Search Optimisation and Finite Element Analysis for Mechanics. You can also take the Industrial Placement Year, which is an additional year-long module that allows you to apply for a placement with an engineering-based organisation. The successful placement will be recognised on your Degree Certificate.
