Bachelor (Honours)
You'll study a broad range of areas such as aerodynamics, aerospace materials and structures, aerospace systems, design, dynamics and control, thermodynamics, and propulsion.
Elective studies will allow you to tailor the course to suit your areas of interest and enhance your career opportunities.
Sustainability issues are built into multiple areas of the course. This increases your employability as there is increasing demand for long-term engineering solutions in this industry.
As an RMIT graduate you'll have the analytical, technological, and design skills required to practise aerospace engineering. You'll also learn to appreciate the wider social implications of the engineering profession.
You'll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.
To ensure you graduate job-ready, you'll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.
In an aerospace engineering career you can design aircraft, develop propulsion systems, research new materials, test new engines, develop spacecraft, or plan maintenance programs.
As a graduate from this degree you'll be ready to work as a high-level engineer on a wide range of Australian and international projects.
The most likely destinations for graduates are:
Aerospace engineers also have skills in fields of advanced technology that are in high demand in non-aerospace organisations including the automotive industry, power generation industry, software support companies, and research organisations.
Credit, recognition of prior learning, professional experience and accreditation from a professional body can reduce the duration of your study by acknowledging your earlier, relevant experience. Find out if you might be eligible.
