Liverpool, University of, MEng (Hons), Avionic Systems with Pilot Studies

This programme is an enhanced version of the BEng degree in avionic systems with pilot studies; it allows for more specialisation and provides a deeper level of knowledge and a faster route to a recognised professional qualification as a Chartered Engineer; it contains modules that consider the technical and industrial management activities that are an essential part of a professional engineer's role; the first 2 years on this programme are the same as the BEng programme with the pilot studies modules and flying time; in the 3rd year, there is some commonality, but there is more emphasis on longer term project work (covering the final 2 years of the degree); this gives students more time to develop their interests and knowledge of the subject; there is also a group design project which interfaces with other disciplines within aerospace engineering to provide specialist avionics expertise on large scale airframe design; the 4th year offers students more depth in their speciality (eg radar systems and processing or navigation systems and flight control) and further handson project work; year 4 includes flight simulator work with flight handling qualities, group design and advanced communication modules.
