Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace Engineering (BEng) at Concordia University prepares you to design airplanes, build helicopters, and test unmanned air vehicles. You study the mechanisms behind flight and propulsion in the atmosphere and in space, with specialization options in Aerodynamics and Propulsion, Aerospace Structures and Materials, or Avionics and Aerospace Systems. The curriculum includes the Engineering core, the Aerospace Engineering core, and electives from one of three elective groups.

The program option is an integrated path and the duration is 4 to 5 years. Through labs, lectures, and projects, you apply mechanical, electrical, computer, and industrial engineering to aerospace system conception, design, implementation, and operation. You solve problems using mathematics, physics, modeling, and simulation. Program structure includes a Bachelor of Engineering minimum of four years (120 credits) of full-time study.

Concordia University lists a co-op option with paid work terms lasting 12 to 16 weeks, plus sample capstone projects such as combustor development data analysis, low pressure turbine and exhaust modeling, composite defect reduction, and avionic system installation for helicopters. The integrated path allows you to take up to sixteen credits that count toward both the Bachelor of Engineering and a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering.
