Aerospace Engineering
Aerospace Engineering is a specialised branch of Mechanical Engineering. It is concerned with the design,
construction, production and maintenance of vehicles and objects intended for use in and beyond the atmosphere.
Aerospace Engineering is a growing field with applications in areas as diverse as aircraft, satellites,
rockets, space stations and hot air balloons. Aerospace engineers address problems specific to the aerospace
industry. These problems relate to how a vehicle moves, how high and how fast it can travel, how it holds
together under the forces it experiences and how it is kept on course. Aerospace engineers analyse and
solve these problems using their knowledge of mechanics and dynamics, materials and joining methods,
thermodynamics, heat transfer, vibrations, guidance, control and modelling techniques.
Duration: 4 years http://www.adelaide.edu.au/ecms/programs/undergraduate/aerospace.html
Aerospace Navigation and Guidance
The course will comprise two components: Navigation: this will cover theory, and the principles of operation
and performance modeling of navigation technologies with particular emphasis on technologies that are
used to support aeronautical applications. This material will cover inertial navigation technologies,
satellite navigation technologies such as GPS and terrestrially based navigation systems such as Loran-C.
Technologies which support astronautic applications will also be considered. Guidance: this will cover
the principles on which aircraft flight plans and space vehicle orbital manoeuvres are designed and to
which a flight vehicle's motion is controlled. This section will cover both open loop flight path generation
and closed loop autopilot aspects of the control of flight vehicles.
