Aeronautical Engineering

“It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill” – Wilbur Wright, Aviation Pioneer/Inventor

 

Aeronautical Engineering

Are you highly proficient in Mathematics and Physics? Captivated by the history and methodology behind airplanes, aircrafts or flying machines? Then pursuing a higher education in the field of Aeronautical Engineering might be right for you.

 

Today, the field of study is one of two major and overlapping branches of Aerospace Engineering, with Astronautical Engineering following it. Aeronautical Engineering involves the research, design, development, construction, testing, science and technology of aircraft. Students are taught to investigate aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft which include factors such as airfoil, control surfaces, lift and drag. Undergraduates often start with building a solid foundation in subjects required for the designing, building and testing of aircrafts which consists of mathematics, physics, mechanics and electronics during their first year. Students expand their foundation learning and specialisation as they advance through the course with degree specialisations include Aerodynamics, Aeroelasticity, Composites Analysis, Avionics, Propulsion, Structures and Materials, Statics and Dynamics, Software, Solid Mechanics, and Aeroacoustics.
