BEng Aeronautical Engineering
Course overview
The BEng Aeronautical Engineering with Foundation at the University of East London is a 4-year full-time course that begins with a foundation year, then proceeds to a Degree in Aeronautical Engineering. The course focuses on equipping students with the tools and knowledge to tackle real‐world engineering issues, where students gain expertise and hands-on experience.
In the foundation year, core modules such as Maths for Engineering, Media and Communication skills, and Creative and Technology Industries study skills will be taught, to prepare students with a foundation for the remaining Engineering studies. Modules such as Thermofluids, Engineering Mechanics, Applied Mathematics and Computing, Applied Lectronics, Dynamics and Control, and Systems Integration will be covered during the degree programme.
Students will learn through lectures, workshops, independent learning, labs, and project work, and assessment is by a combination of group work, exams and individual work, including essays, presentations, case studies, professional development and practical activities. They will also be prepared to work at a professional level with an understanding of safety, ethics, sustainability and legal aspects of engineering.
