Monash University

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Aerospace Engineering)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Join a thrilling profession in the midst of developing the next generation of flight vehicles. The Airbus A380, A350, A400M, and the Boeing 787 are just some of the astounding advances being led by aerospace engineers.

Aerospace engineering is concerned with the design, development, and maintenance of flight vehicles. It involves aerodynamics, aerostructures, avionics, propulsion, material science, and computational simulation.

As an aerospace engineer, you will have the opportunity to tackle many of tomorrow's global challenges. You may be involved in the creation of a more environmentally friendly passenger aircraft, or even help to build a vehicle capable of exploring our solar system and beyond.

Aerospace engineers apply scientific and technological theories, concepts, and equations to vehicles designed to operate within the earth's atmosphere and in space.

Activities include the use of wind tunnels for aerodynamic testing, computational modeling for predicting structural behavior, and materials and structural testing.

But aerospace engineering reaches beyond traditional aerospace applications. For example, you might work in automobiles, energy production and conservation, lightweight materials, or new manufacturing techniques.
