Stream Outline
The Aerospace Engineering stream covers the analysis, design and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. Graduates work mainly on the design and manufacture of flight vehicles, their operation with major or satellite airlines and research for civil and military aerospace organisations. Owing to the international nature of aerospace industry, the topics studied cover a similar area and, in general, to the same depth of understanding as professional training programs in aerospace in other industrial countries. The aerospace industry is one of Australia's major exporters of high value added manufactured goods.
The Faculty has approved an arrangement whereby students who satisfy the requirements of the first two years of a Mechanical Engineering four year degree program at any Australasian tertiary institution may be admitted to Years 3 and 4 of the stream leading to the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) degree in Aerospace Engineering. The proviso is that the Head of School is satisfied that the courses studied at the other institution are equivalent, and that their recommendation is given.
This page outlines the core rules for the Aerospace Engineering stream when taken as part of a single or dual award. The requirements will total 168 units of credit, in addition to any other requirements outlined on the main program page.
Full time students complete four (24 UOC) courses per semester.
Recommended plans of study may be found here
A minimum of 168 UOC must be completed.

Stream Structure
Choose ONE of:
- MATH1131 Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
- MATH1141 Higher Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- MATH1231 Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
- MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- PHYS1121 Physics 1A (6 UOC)
- PHYS1131 Higher Physics 1A (6 UOC)
Plus these following 2 courses:
- ENGG1000 Engineering Design (6 UOC)
- MMAN1300 Engineering Mechanics (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- COMP1511 Introduction to Programming (6 UOC)
- COMP1911 Computing 1A (6 UOC)
- ENGG1811 Computing for Engineers (6 UOC)
Plus choose up to 2 electives (12 UOC) from the Year 1 Elective List
- Students take MMAN1300 and ELEC1111 as core. Student may choose to take up to an additional 12 UOC of Level 1 electives. If students choose to forego some or all of the additional Level 1 electives then additional higher level electives may be taken later in the program.
- ENGG1811 is the preferred computing course for the AERO Stream.
- CVEN1300 is considered equivalent to MMAN1300
- Not all courses are offered in both semesters but students should complete 24 UOC in each semester.
- Students in BE(Hons)/BSc (Computer Science) dual degree should take COMP1521 as one of their first year electives.
The following courses must be taken to complete the stream:
- ELEC1111 Elec & Telecomm Eng (6 UOC)
- MMAN2130 Design and Manufacturing (6 UOC)
Choose ONE of:
- MATH2019 Engineering Mathematics 2E (6 UOC)
- MATH2089 Numerical Methods & Statistics (6 UOC)
- MMAN2100 Engineering Design 2 (6 UOC)
- MMAN2300 Engineering Mechanics 2 (6 UOC)
- MMAN2400 Mechanics of Solids 1 (6 UOC)
- MMAN2600 Fluid Mechanics (6 UOC)
- MMAN2700 Thermodynamics (6 UOC)
Note: MATH2018 Engineering Mathematics 2D is an alternative to MATH2019.
- AERO3110 Aerospace Design (6 UOC)
- AERO3410 Aerospace Structures (6 UOC)
- AERO3630 Aerodynamics (6 UOC)
- AERO3660 Flight Performance, Propulsion (6 UOC)

- MMAN4010 Thesis A (6 UOC)
- MMAN4020 Thesis B (6 UOC)
Plus
- 60 days Industrial Training must be completed.
Thesis Arrangements
- MMAN4010 and MMAN4020 must be undertaken in two consecutive semesters which are the final two semesters of candidature.
- A student must not be enrolled in more than 24 units of credit in any semester involving MMAN4010 and MMAN4020.
- A single thesis project is commenced in MMAN4010 and completed in MMAN4020.
- MMAN4010 is a graded course, carrying 25% of the total thesis mark (for Honours weighting purposes). If a student receives a failure (FL) in MMAN4010, a student cannot proceed with MMAN4020, and must reattempt MMAN4010.
- If the project is abandoned during MMAN4020, a completely new topic must be chosen and the student must enrol again in both MMAN4010 and MMAN4020.
- BE/MBiomedE students must take BIOM5001 instead of MMAN4010 and BIOM5003 instead of MMAN4020.
