Aerospace Engineering (Honours) RMIT University

Overview

Throughout the Aerospace Engineering (Honours) program from the RMIT University you'll gain specialist skills in analysing, designing and operating sophisticated aeronautics and astronautics hardware and software.

You'll study a broad range of areas such as aerodynamics, aerospace materials and structures, aerospace systems, design, dynamics and control, thermodynamics, and propulsion.

Minor options in Aircraft and Spacecraft Technologies will allow you to tailor the degree to suit your areas of interest and enhance your career opportunities.

Sustainability issues are built into multiple areas of the aerospace engineering degree. This increases your employability as there is increasing demand for long-term engineering solutions in this industry. You'll also learn to appreciate the wider social implications of the engineering profession.

Career 

As an RMIT graduate, you’ll have the analytical, technological, and design skills required to practise as a high-level aerospace engineer in Australia and overseas. 

In an aerospace engineering career, you can design, develop, and test aircraft, rockets, spacecraft, and global space/international systems. 

You could pursue a career in:

• Design and manufacturing companies: Boeing Australia, Airbus, BAE Systems Australia, Lockheed Martin and Australian Aerospace

• Defence forces: Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army, and Royal Australian Air Force

• Defence related organisations: Defence Science and Technology Group and Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group

• Australian and international airlines

• Airworthiness organisations: Civil Aviation Safety Authority, Department of Defence

• General aviation organisations

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.
