Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) (Honours)

Yes, the Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) (Honours) is fully accredited by Engineers Australia, which is a signatory to the Washington Accord. This means the degree is internationally recognised and graduates are able to practise as professional engineers in many countries around the world, including the USA, UK, China, New Zealand, Japan, Korea and Singapore. Graduates are also eligible for graduate and/or professional membership of Engineers Australia.

In Year 3, students can choose from the following minor options to tailor the degree to their areas of interest: Aircraft Technologies, Spacecraft Technologies, Aviation Industry, Computational Engineering and Simulation, and Humanitarian Innovation. In Year 4, students continue with either the Aircraft or Spacecraft Technologies minor.

Yes, before graduating you are strongly encouraged to complete at least 10 weeks of engineering industry experience. This work placement allows you to gain first-hand experience in an engineering practice environment under the supervision of a practising professional engineer. Additionally, opportunities exist for an overseas work placement of between six and 12 months, which are normally taken during a one-year break in the middle or at the end of the third year of the degree. A work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective may also be completed in Year 2, 3 or 4.

Years 1 and 2 are taught at the Melbourne City campus, where you will gain a solid understanding of engineering including studies in engineering, maths and mechanics. In Year 3, your studies move to the Bundoora campus so you can utilise specialist facilities and deepen your aerospace engineering knowledge. The program is taught predominantly at the City campus, but students may have to travel to the Bundoora campus for laboratory, WIL and/or capstone project work.
