Aerospace Engineering is an exciting discipline covering the design and development of all types of aircraft including airplanes, helicopters, satellites and spacecraft. Aerospace engineers bring concepts to reality by applying the principles of engineering to the design, manufacture and operation of highly sophisticated technologies for use in aviation and space exploration. They ensure that aircraft and spacecraft meet safety requirements by creating new and more environmentally-friendly designs and manufacturing methods.

Many aerospace engineers work directly within the aerospace industry in roles with leading aircraft manufacturers and airline companies as well as Government Agencies. The role of an aerospace engineer can vary hugely from aircraft design to research, design and development, field service, marketing and software development.
