Bachelor of Engineering in Aircraft Systems SE729

What is the Course about?

Aircraft systems engineering is the field of study relating to the maintenance, safety, and airworthiness of aircraft. Aircraft system engineers support the development of on board flight systems, including flight controls. landing gear, electrical power, hydraulics, and avionics systems. The 3-year programme follows a practical hands-on approach to produce graduates who have the theoretical and practical know how to work within the evolving aerospace and maintenance repair (MRO) industries.

Course Structure

The Bachelor of Engineering in Aircraft Systems programme is structured to provide students with a real-world aviation work environment. SETU Carlow has an on-campus aerospace centre comprising a fleet of different fixed and rotary wing aircraft, a modern avionics laboratory and a wind tunnel for aerofoil design. These unique facilities ensure that students have an excellent learning environment to develop their theoretical and practical training during the three-years of the programme at SETU Carlow.

Is this course for you?

If you are interested in aircraft and the technology that supports their flight. Then this may be the programme for you.

Special Features:

• Access to evolving fleet of aircraft at the SETU Carlow Campus Centre for Aerospace Engineering
• Exit Award - Higher Certificate in Aircraft Systems (NFQ Level 6) after year 2

What follow-on study opportunities are available?

Graduates can progress to Year 4 of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Aerospace Engineering (CW568), Year 3 of the BEng (Honours) in Electronic Systems or Year 3 of the BEng (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering course at SETU Carlow, subject to availability of places and specialism chosen in Year 3 of the BEng in Aircraft Systems.
