Mathematics underpins every great engineering solution. That’s why, in your first year, we focus on mathematics and support you to develop a board knowledge of engineering and science. You’ll be ready for anything once you move on to BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering in your second year.At NTU, we are developing Aerospace Engineers who are ready to solve practical engineering problems facing the aerospace industry. Aeronautical and aerospace engineering is one of the fastest growing industries in the UK. You’ll leave us well equipped to face today’s challenges and, as we focus on the future of flight, you’ll be ready for the industries next big challenges.Sustainability is a particularly pertinent issue for engineers as many products are designed to have short life-span. That’s why we teach you sustainable design which facilitates the re-use, re-purposing or recycling of materials and components – it’s the focus of one of your first year projects and we have a whole module dedicated to it in your final years.You’ll be learning from the best, with our expert lecturers and researcher who have extensive aerospace industry experience. Additionally, you will work on live industry projects and hear from guest speakers, both on campus and on company visits, to gain the latest knowledge of trends and techniques.It’s OK if you want to change direction at the end of your foundation year. The flexibility means that we can support you if you want to move onto one of our other engineering or mathematics courses in your second year.You’ll learn by taking part in a series of projects both individually and in a group. This develops your problem-solving and creative thinking skills – an essential quality for a professional engineer. During your second year you’ll compete as part of a team to win the Grand Challenge, an engineering problem posed by industry.This course is recognised by CDIO, a framework that has a project based learning approach. This framework stresses engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. The framework is dedicated to providing students with their initial grounding in engineering through live projects.
