Aerospace Electronic Engineering

This three-year BEng Aerospace Electronic Engineering degree will enable you to gain the skills fundamental to modern aerospace electronic systems, both theoretical and practical. The course has been specifically designed to focus on electronics for aerospace and spacecraft systems. Key areas of study include electronic circuits and systems, flight mechanics and aerospace systems, radar techniques and applications, guidance, navigation and control, space systems engineering, digital systems and microprocessors, programming and computer engineering, devices and solid state electronics and mathematics. You will have the opportunity to design, simulate and build a unique aerospace electronic system as part of your third year individual project, and will collaborate with an academic working at the cutting-edge of research to develop analytical and innovative solutions to engineering problems.
