Program Description
Students holding a Bachelor of Technology in the Aeronautical Engineering program may, under normal circumstances, articulate to the Bachelor of Engineering in the Aeronautical Engineering program with 12 months of additional study.
This three year technology program at UNSW Canberra is accredited by Engineers Australia at the Engineering Technologist level.
Program Objectives and Graduate Attributes
Except for Electrical Engineering and those in the Chief of Defence Force Students Program first year technology and engineering students enrol in a common program taking foundation science and engineering courses. In second and third year the programs diverge into their specialities although there are some courses that span across programs in all years. A key element in all years is the design stream which emphasises complex problem solving. Other streams such as aerodynamics, stability, control. thermofluids, structures, mechanics, materials and management often incorporate project based learning informed by academic research and industrial practice. Electives and a final semester project enable students to pursue particular interests both within and outside the specialist discipline.
At the end of the program students are expected to meet the graduate attributes of the University and Stage 1 Competencies of Engineers Australia, ready to practice in their chosen profession and with the ingenuity and resourcefulness to meet rapid technological change.
The BTech(Aero) is primarily designed for officer cadets and midshipmen of the Australian Defence Force who intend to become aircrew and wish to enhance their understanding of the operation and performance of aircraft. It is differentiated from the BTech (Aviation) program by providing a broader engineering technology foundation.

Academic Rules
1.1 A student must comply with the Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students. In the event of a conflict, the rules for the Bachelor of Technology take precedence over the Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students.
2. Program Requirements
2.1 To qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Technology, a candidate shall normally be enrolled for a minimum of six semesters and gain a minimum of 144 units of credit (normally 24 UOC in each full time semester).
2.2 A student completing a Standard Program shall complete courses, in the years prescribed, as set out in the relevant schedule.
2.3 A student completing a Non-Standard Program shall, subject to the requirements of Rule 2.4 (below), timetabling requirements and approval of the appropriate Heads of School, be permitted to enrol in any one year in courses selected from more than one year of the relevant schedule.
2.4 Before a student's enrolment will be accepted for any course, the student must have completed the relevant pre-requisite courses shown in the Course Catalogue, except where the School Undergraduate Coordinator for the appropriate course approves otherwise.
2.5 Students are required to include 12 UOC of General Education courses, normally taken in the second or third year of study.
3. Practical Experience Requirements
Before graduation a student shall complete 20 days of approved practical engineering experience which must be done in one block with one employer.
