Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering(BEngA.E.) 工學士 (航空航天工程)

 

Why is this Major needed?

Since the last century, aerospace has been undergoing rapid changes, which were driven by the advancement in electric aircraft flight technologies, advanced digital communications (what is now being called digital aerospace), smart inspection, autonomous flight, supersonic flight technologies, etc. Our program takes cognizance of these changes but at the same time provides the students with the engineering skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the current climate and to adapt to the forthcoming changes.

Given the vision of aerospace, space, and aviation to 2040, it is clear that influential trends such as electric aircraft, technological innovations, climate change, space urbanization, changing consumer demands, autonomous vehicles, etc. are all capable of creating new industries and supply chain providers in addition to the demand that will be placed on existing industries.

Objectives Of The Major

  • To provide students with a significantly broad base of engineering skills.
  • To meet the needs of current and changing aerospace and related industries, e.g.
  1. smart manufacturing
  2. smart sensing, inspection & monitoring
  3. flight technologies
  4. next generation aircraft (e.g. unmanned, bio-inspired and clean-power)
  5. AI, robots, and automation technology, etc.
  • To enhance graduate employment with a multi-disciplinary education, e.g.
  • technical services, consultancy, manufacturing and finance, all aligned with the manpower need in Hong Kong

Career Prospects

  • The Aviation Forum regarding Global Megatrends held at the Royal Aeronautical Society (2019) revealed that there has been an increasing demand at local, national and global levels for training undergraduates in the fields of advanced materials, systems technologies, systems design, sensors, communication systems, space technologies/exploration and robotic technologies.
  • The new major covers all these aspects and the fundamentals of computing, simulation, numerical methods and professional engineering which opens additional career opportunities in R&D, technical services, finance, teaching/research and consultancy.
  • Our graduates will be capable of pursuing postgraduate studies for more specializing in some of the next generation fields of developing areas e.g. space urbanization, digital communications, AI aided technology, autonomous vehicles, robotics, new materials for flight systems, etc.

Entrance Requirements and Admission Arrangements

HKDSE Route

To be eligible for admission, you must satisfy the University’s General Entrance Requirements, with at least one elective subject in Physics, M1/M2, Design and Applied Technology or Chemistry for HKDSE students.

JUPAS HKDSE students will apply for admission to the Department of Mechanical Engineering (JS1207). They will enter a major after the first year of study. During their first year, students will study a broad range of Gateway Education (GE), College of Engineering and Home Department specified courses. The top 40% of students [based on (i) cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of Semester B; (ii) no failed grades in any courses in Semesters A and B; (iii) completion of at least 30 credit units in Semesters A and B, including the required courses specified by the College of Engineering & Home Department; and (iv) no academic dishonesty record for the year] will have free choice of the majors offered by the Department. The other 60% of students will be allocated a major of their choice, subject to the availability of places and the CGPA.
