Programme Characteristics and Career Prospects

The Aviation Engineering Scheme aims to train students to become aeronautical and aviation engineers who possess strong skills and in-depth knowledge of engineering and engineering management, as well as a sense of social and environmental responsibility.

BEng (Hons) in Aviation Engineering

The programme provides hands-on experience with the support of state-of-the-art facilities, such as supersonic wind tunnels, UAV testing systems, and material manufacturing and testing platforms. Graduates are equipped to pursue careers in aircraft maintenance engineering, aircraft component engineering, aeronautical engineering, aircraft design, control and propulsion systems, navigation, unmanned aerial vehicles, and many other engineering disciplines. They also have extensive opportunities to join public and private aviation technology and R&D sectors. Some graduates pursue further studies for master’s or doctoral degrees at local or overseas universities based on their interests and career aspirations.
