Available to students in aeronautical, mechanical and mechatronic engineering streams in the Bachelor of Engineering Honours, space engineering is taught by leading experts in aerospace design and development.
Structure
What you’ll study
The Bachelor of Engineering Honours with Space Engineering is an undergraduate coursework program that covers all space-related activities, from ground operations to the design and construction of orbital bodies and explorative spacecraft.
The program is available to students in aeronautical, mechanical and mechatronic engineering streams. This course is accredited by Engineers Australia and other major professional engineering institutions.
You will complete degree foundational core units in mathematics and computing, along with a suite of multidisciplinary project units. You will also complete stream core and specialist elective units in your chosen stream, and can choose to complete an optional specialisation.
Additionally, you will complete elective units as needed to make up the requirements of the course from either the Engineering disciplinary pool or the shared pool. In your final year, you will complete an honours thesis in your chosen stream.
Throughout your degree, you will undertake professional engagement activities as part of the Professional Engagement Program, including engineering work experience in the final year.
Your detailed course structure will depend on which stream you choose to study in conjunction with Space Engineering:
- Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Aeronautical)
- Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechanical)
- Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechatronic)
