Plan Summary


	Faculty: University College
	School: School of Aerospace, Civil and Mechanical Engineering @ ADFA
	Contact: http://www.unsw.adfa.edu.au/student
	Program: 8569 - Engineering Science
	Award(s):
	Master of Engineering Science (Specialisation)

Plan Outline

The Master of Engineering Science in Aerospace Engineering has been developed specifically to meet the professional development needs of aerospace engineers within the Australian Defence Force (ADF). It is designed for officers with appropriate undergraduate qualifications in a relevant engineering discipline and/or extensive professional experience to develop an advanced appreciation of the principles and practice of aerospace engineering and the processes by which aerospace capabilities are developed and maintained.

Enrolment in this program is subject to the approval of the Head of School. This program is not currently offered on a full-time basis.

Plan Structure

Students undertaking the MEngSc in Aerospace Engineering are required to take eight coursework courses (48UOC) from core and elective courses in accordance with the conditions set out below. Each course is worth 6UOC.

Students are required to complete the following core courses.

ZACM8305 Civ & Mil Airworthiness Requ (6 UOC)
ZBUS8302 Logistics (6 UOC)
ZITE8226 Systems Engineering Practice (6 UOC)
ZPEM8308 Reliability & Maintainability (6 UOC)

Of the four electives, two must be chosen from

ZACM8302 Aero-Mechanical Systems (6 UOC)
ZACM8304 Aircraft Struc Repair Method (6 UOC)
ZACM8307 Weapons Engineering (6 UOC)
ZACM8324 Project Administration (6 UOC)
ZACM8327 Maximum Entropy Analysis (6 UOC)
ZBUS8105 Finance & Invest Appraisal (6 UOC)
ZITE8215 Princ Modern Comms & Info Sys (6 UOC)
ZITE8216 Princ of Software Engineering (6 UOC)
ZITE8217 Princ of Surveillance Technol (6 UOC)
ZITE8219 Satellite Communications (6 UOC)

With the approval of the Plan Authority, students may take a research project - ZACM8501 Project Report (Full year) or ZACM8502 Project Report (Single Session) - in place of any two of the elective courses.

In addition to the six courses required for completion of the plan, students may take the optional course ZACM8306 Professional Practice - Aerospace Engineering.

Subject to the above conditions, students may, with the approval of the Program Authority, take up to two courses (12UOC) from related coursework programs.
