This course provides an opportunity to tackle a complex, indeterminate aerospace system design task, with the aim of generating credible, conceptual design solutions. The course is primarily project-based, where you will be working in design teams. A design brief for an aerospace system such as a fixed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft, spacecraft or unmanned aircraft system is provided. The design brief is used to generate a set of requirements. You will then generate, evaluate and select suitable design concepts to meet these requirements.
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level.
This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information.

This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
