aeronautiCal<br />

bachelor of Technology (Aeronautical)<br />

Duration: 3 years<br />

campus: Joondalup<br />

Practicum: Yes<br />

Intended for students who have an interest in aviation,<br />

aeronautics and flying, and wish to have the option of expanding<br />

their studies into a pathway towards becoming an accredited<br />

professional in an engineering qualification.<br />

Aeronautical technology deals with the engineering aspects of<br />

aviation, including aviation system design, aircraft manufacturing<br />

and aircraft operation. Areas of study within the <strong>course</strong> include<br />

a foundation in physics and mathematics along with engineering<br />

mechanics, computer aided design, engineering materials, and<br />

thermodynamics and fluids. Specialised aeronautical subjects<br />

are concurrently and include aircraft systems and structures,<br />

aircraft propulsion and aerodynamics. Students will also gain an<br />

understanding of the operation and performance of aircraft from<br />

the point-of-view of the pilot.<br />

The <strong>course</strong> focuses on the development of knowledge and<br />

skills relevant to the aviation industry and, along with a sound<br />

theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical problem<br />

solving, team work and project work. As a result, as well as having<br />

multiple technical and transferable skill competencies, students<br />

will graduate with strong analytical skills and the ability to<br />

contribute to complex projects.<br />
