Engineering Practice 1 - AERO40004
Aims
Engineering practice involves more than the application of theory and utilising mathematics to solve problems. It requires engineers to have an awareness of practical, legal, ethical and manufacturing constraints, to be creative in proposing solutions to problems, and be able to communicate, collaborate, plan and manage their work. This module offers a first opportunity to engage in engineering practice, while supported by a range of workshops, lectures and tutorials.

Engineering Practice 2: Technical - AERO50004
Aims
Engineering practice involves more than the application of theory and utilising mathematics to solve problems. It requires engineers to have an awareness of practical, legal, ethical and manufacturing constraints, to be creative in proposing solutions to problems, and be able to communicate, collaborate, plan and manage their work. This module builds on you prior experience of Engineering Practice 1, requiring you to engage in multi-disciplinary design and optimisation work within constraints and subject to uncertainty.
Role
Lecturer
Flight Dynamics and Control - AERO50002
Aims
The purpose of this module is to provide you with a working understanding of the concepts associated with the dynamics, stability and control of flight vehicles. Though both a review of the theoretical background and its practical application using the Department's Flight Simulation facility, the techniques available to predict and control the dynamic behaviour of aircraft are studied.
Role
Lecturer
Aerospace Vehicle Design - AERO60002
Aims
The design of aerospace vehicles is a complex, multidisciplinary endeavour. This module offers you an opportunity to integrate and apply your prior knowledge and analytical skills to the design of an aircraft of conventional architecture, starting from only a simple set of operational requirements, while introducing them to the multi-stage approach and methods typically employed by vehicle design teams.

Introduction to Aerospace - AERO40002
Aims
This module introduces students to the broad types of vehicles operating and their varied missions and design requirements. Starting from a discussion of the forces and moments acting on an aerial vehicle and developing models for their prediction, we derive a number of equations that can be used for the prediction of key aircraft performance metrics, such as cruise range, operating envelope and take-off/landing performance. The performance of rotorcraft is also discussed.
