    Q's about Aeronautical(Space) Engineering

    I want to go to NASA if I get into this course. What are the possibilities of that being achieved? In my 4 years doing this degree, I haven't heard of it happening. Having said that, I don't see any reason why it can't happen. One thing to keep in mind is that many jobs in NASA will require...

    Aerospace engineering career outlook in Melbourne?

    You may want to have a look at: http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/windsoc/company_database/company_database3.pdf The list of organisations is rather NSW-centric, but there are interstate organisations as well. In terms of how easy it will be to find a job, it will really depend on factors...

    ??space Engineering??

    Compared with what? That rather depends on what you want to get out of the degree Here's a list of employers who have accepted USyd Aeronautical and Space Engineering students as either graduates or for internships...

    Aeronautical Engineering

    That's a rather subjective thing That will have very little relevance to the Aeronautical Engineering degree. However, it will relate quite well with all branches of Space Engineering, which is a specialisation which can be taken on top of Aeronautical, Mechanical and Mechatronics...

    Aerospace OVERSEAS, and - UNSW vs UTS

    There seems to be a perception that there are no jobs in the aerospace field in Australia. Here's a list of companies who have taken aerospace engineering students as interns or hired graduates: http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/windsoc/company_database/company_database3.pdf Most of these...

    Biomed = Mechanical plus?

    AFAIK the biomed engineering degree at USyd strips out some mechanical subjects and replaces them with biomed specialisations. Check out the handbook for more details: http://www.usyd.edu.au/handbooks/engineering/03_bespec_a_AeroMechMechatron.shtml As far as the opportunity to work as a...

    Mechanical Prospects + Space

    That depends on how you define a space industry. Some examples: HiFire - joint NASA/USAF/ADF (that's Australian Defence Forces) hypersonics program http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_generic.jsp?channel=awst&id=news/aw031907p2.xml University of Queensland Hypersonics Program...

    help with mechanical/mechatronic/aeronautical (space) engineering

    1) Mechanical engineering is a reasonably generic course that teaches you to work with anything with moving parts in it Mechatronic engineering is a specialisation of mechanical engineering that adds in material about computer hardware and software, and how to meld the two. This all leads up to...

    Need info on aero

    Hi Suchet_i: I've just finished my second year in the aerospace eng degree at USyd. Overall, I've enjoyed it. However, if you have any specific questions, ask. Also, a good resource on the degree (at least academically) is the faculty of engineering handbook...

    Aerospace Engineering/ (commerce or science?)

    @TestPilot: I've just finished the 2nd year of a B.E. (Aero)(Space) at USyd, and I've enjoyed what I've been through for the last two years. Of course, there are quite a few boring/poorly taught courses, but the're inevitable in all degrees. For me, they've been offset by the more practical...

    Aerospace Engineering/ (commerce or science?)

    Some people may beg to differ on that one: http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/yabbfiles/Attachments/Boeing_Advertisement-2006.pdf Some other places that have been known to hire aero engineers: Boeing/Hawker de Havilland, GKN Aerospace, BAE Systems, Composites CRC, Tenix, Defence Materiel...

    Text books - Aeronautical Engineering

    Have you tried: http://intranet.eng.usyd.edu.au/curriculum/stream-view?stream%5fid=1226 View the details of each UoS you're interested in. But as I said in my last post, it's always good to wait till the first lecture, when the lecturer will tell you if you need any textbooks, before...

    Text books - Aeronautical Engineering

    In short, no. You'll find that the lecturer for a certain course will change from year to year. Since different lecturers may tend to prefer different textbooks, there is no way of knowing for sure what the prescribed texts for a course is until the first lecture. However, having said that...

    Timetable problem.

    Can't you just log back into the timetable unit (or Student Administration, via MyUni) and get your timetable? Regards Antarctic

    Results: Semester 1, 2006

    It'll depend on what sort of subject you are doing, and how far you've gone in the textbook. For example, I've done some 2nd year subjects that have used the same textbook as their first year pre-requiste subjects. Regards Antarctic
