Modern aerospace systems are set to rely even more heavily on electronic systems in the future, as autonomous unmanned flying vehicles, the development of electric aircraft, and the increased use of GPS to enhance flight efficiency and safety, increase society’s dependence on electronics.
Students will be taught by our team of experts who have experience of working on projects for NASA and ESA, as well as teaching industry staff on Space Systems Engineering.
Our Teaching
Our modules use a variety of innovative teaching methods and assessment, including coursework, groupwork and exams. Here are some examples of what you'll be able to do.
Aerospace Electronics Design
Second-year students work to design, build and test an autonomous or remote-controlled drone, capable of completing manoeuvrability or tracking tasks. This challenging exercise develops skills in design, project management, teamwork and communication.
