Aeronautical engineering is about how aircraft are designed, constructed and powered, how they are used and how they are controlled for safe operation. You’ll take part in practical laboratories, including running a jet engine test, and a flight-testing course in a Saab 340B aircraft during year 5 of the MEng. Aeronautical group design projects are undertaken in collaboration with BAe Systems on a real aircraft project Students have access to State-of-the-Art experimental facilities which are part of the UK National Wind Tunnel Facility Final year students will undertake a six month placement in industry, an overseas university or within University of Glasgow research facilities The programme is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, and is in the process of reaccreditation with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. There are contributions to aircraft design classes by engineers from the industrial sector and, whenever possible, visits to industrial sites. The school also sponsors student teams for national (IMechE) and international (AIAA) competitions. The MEng programme allows you to take your project in Europe. We also have partner universities in the USA and Australia, where some students undertake their third year of study.Our programmes are accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers which can help you on your way to registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) or Incorporated Engineer (IEng.) The MEng programme satisfies the requirement to apply to become a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer upon successful completion.
