He also created successful designs for human gliders. The Wright brothers were aware of his work and acknowledged the great contributions that Cayley made to the understanding of flight. When you hear the term aeronautical you should think in terms of flight through the air. This can involve an interplanetary flight or interstellar flight. The word astronautical postdates the word aeronautical and began appearing in the early part of the 20th Century.
While aeronautics deals with flight through the air and astronautics deals with operations of vehicles in space, the word aerospace can be viewed as a broader or more overarching term which considers operations in both air and space. In that sense, aeronautics and astronautics could be considered as subbranches of the broader science or field of study known as aerospace.
While there are three terms that we have described relating to the science of flight, two of these are more commonly cited. Aeronautical engineers would work for companies such as Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Airbus, and others that design commercial aircraft, for example. For those individuals seeking to do work on the design of space vehicles and other systems or structures that are designed to operate in space, such as satellites , you have the option of pursuing degree programs in either aerospace engineering or astronautical engineering.

It could be the right option if you:. Please contact our enquiries team if you're not sure that you have the right experience or qualifications to get onto this course. Email: enquiries southampton. Year 1 and 2 modules are similar across all our Electronic Engineering courses and provide a grounding in essential engineering topics.
You'll also focus on the foundations of aerospace electronics. In year 3 you can follow your interests by choosing from a wide range of optional modules. You can also take modules from other subject areas. We'll develop your practical skills through extensive laboratory classes. You'll also take a group project to design, build and test an autonomous or remote controlled drone. In your final year, you'll complete your individual project. This will develop your planning, presentation and problem-solving skills, and let you choose a topic that interests you.
You'll study guidance, navigation and control , and space system engineering. You'll also choose from a wide range of modules such as:. Want more detail? See all the modules in the course.
To introduce digital system design, the principles of programmable logic devices, the implementation of combinational and sequential circuits, and the principles of hardware design using SystemVerilog, a state-of-the-art hardware description language.
To explain the mathematical techniques needed to analyse linear and simple non-linear electrical and electronic circuits. This module will provide the essentials of modelling and understanding the dynamics of aerospace vehicles: equations of motion derived from first principles, sensing and actuation systems and their limitations, model verification, implications for guidanc This course lays the mathematical foundation for all engineering degrees.
Its structure allows students with different levels of previous knowledge to work at their own pace. This module equips students with a comprehensive understanding of how mechanical systems move and deform when subjected to external forces. It first introduces the fundamental laws covering particle dynamics, before progressing to rigid body dynamics in b To introduce the student to the concepts of programming using the C programming language, with an emphasis on programming for embedded systems.
Laboratory exercises are provided to familiarise the students with particular components, which they may elect to use in the main part of the module, namely the group design exercise.
This module introduces and develops the knowledge in fundamental electromagnetics for second year Electrical and Electronic Engineering students. The course presents the basic concepts of electromagnetic theory from a physical and application points of vi To develop knowledge of the analysis of linear continuous-time systems. To introduce the basic analysis and design tools for electronic system control and communications engineering.
This module is taught by a combination of lectures, laboratory exercises and a design assignment. You will gain practical knowledge of digital system design and of digital signal processing in the context of modern systems.
The design exercise is inten The aims of this module are to: - Give students a solid grounding in mathematical methods and ideas in areas relevant to applications in engineering: Fourier series, Fourier transforms, eigenvalues, eigenvectors and eigenfunctions, linear ordinary differ To present the fundamental principles and engineering techniques used in the design and operation of radar and to relate them to the current and future aerospace applications.
This module will provide a basic grounding in navigation guidance and control with particular aspects on the processing of the signals involved and overall system integration. The individual project gives students the opportunity to gain both detailed knowledge and practical experience in a more focussed area than generally possible elsewhere in their degree programme.
Most projects are in the nature of a challenging enginee This module is intended for anyone interested in pursuing in more detail the space part of aerospace engineering. It looks at each of the key subsystems of a spacecraft in detail. It also introduces the overall theme of space systems engineering by emphas This module extends earlier work on PDEs by presenting a variety of more advanced solution techniques together with some of the underlying theory.
The topics considered are: z transforms, sampling and reconstruction, discretisation, elements of realisation theory, controller design via pole placement, observers, optimal control design. This module will provide students with an introduction to management and law — knowledge and skills which can be applied to the operations of an engineering-based organisation. The learning outcomes address: managerial decisions, commercial aspects of eng Many classes of problems are difficult to solve in their original domain.
An integral transform maps the problem from its original domain into a new domain in which solution is easier. The solution is then mapped back to the original domain with the inver This module manufacturing and materials is intended to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between design, manufacturing processing and materials properties. This module discusses various manufacturing methods including casting, forming, we The module provides an overview of relevant topics in mechanical power transmission and methodology of vibration analysis for such mechanical assemblies.
The main objective of the module is to learn methods of analysis and design of machines and their The module introduces the operational research approach for modelling and solving engineering and management problems. The module provides an introduction to the theory and practice of optimization techniques.
It covers linear programming as well as nonlinear programming. This module is suitable to those who want to apply computational optimization methods to their proble This module gives a broad introduction to development of real-time and embedded systems.
