“The aviation field has been my passion since young, andthis specialisation has allowed me to gain greater insights into the industry. It has been extremely fascinating thus far and I can pursue research in my field of interest.

Andrew Ong

“During my Stage 3 group design project of taking a UAV from design to flight, my horizon was truly expanded and I was able to experience first-hand what aeronautical engineers deal with in their everyday lives.”

Wong Wai Yeap

“Being part of this specialisation has really been a privilege, because we get to see principles being put into practice through sitevisits to companies, as well as experiments in state-of-the-artaeroscience labs. The opportunity

to go beyond books andcalculator keeps my passion for engineering aflame.”

Nugraha Sindarta

“Although our UAV project was far simpler than, say, the Airbus A380, I have been exposed to various challenges notdissimilar to those encountered by an engineer in designing and manufacturing an actual aircraft.”

SPECIALISATION

AERONAUTICALENGINEERING

CAREERS

You will receive a separate certificate of specialisation, in addition to your BEng (Mech) degree scroll. You will be able to apply the essential understanding and skill sets you have developed to the analysis, design, manufacture, maintenance, operation and support of aerial vehicles and systems. The versatility of your training in mechanical engineering will also enable you to pursue a career in many other fields, in addition to those related specifically to aeronautical engineering.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Aeronautics is one of the most technologically advanced engineering areas, and the Aeronautical Engineering Specialisation is a premier pathway for select students. You may apply for admission either at the point of entry into the NUS BEng (Mech) programme, or later in Stage 3 of your studies in ME. Your selection to and continuation in the specialisation is based on overall merit, as well as your aptitude in related foundational modules.

PROGRAMMECENTRETHE SKY

The Aeronautical Engineering Specialisation within the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) curriculum at NUS is where you are equipped with a blend of analytical, computational and experimental skills for a professional career in the aerospace industry. You learn advanced concepts of flight, structures,

You spend the first two years building a solid foundation in mechanical engineering. Specialisation starts from Stage 3, when you read at least two technical electives from Group A and two from Group B in the list below.

The Aeronautical Engineering Specialisation is the education pillar of the Centre for Aerospace Engineering (CAE), a comprehensive centre for aerospace-focused research, education and outreach activities within the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at NUS. Our partnerships with industry leaders -

propulsion and control, and apply these in our state-of-the-art laboratories with extensive testing facilities. You even have opportunities to work on the analysis, design, construction and control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Wing-in-Ground Effect crafts (WIG) or flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicles (MAV).

DSO National Laboratories, SIA Engineering Company and ST Aerospace bring a strong industry relevance to our education content. Our partners offer guest lectures in this specialisation, as well as exclusive site visits. There are also prospects for internships, and collaboration in design and research projects.
