2. Competence to handle various engineering problems academically and practically in the aviation and aeronautical industry.

3. Sufficient knowledge to manage and solve problems through effective and efficient project management and planning.

4. Effective communication skills with different stakeholders using state-of-the-art technologies and aviation and aeronautical languages in both English and Chinese.

BEng (Hons) in Air Transport Engineering

This programme aims to equip highly skilled graduates with:

1. In-depth understanding of air transport operations, resource planning, human-centred design of aviation systems and airworthiness and up-to-date technologies, as well as specialised knowledge in a chosen stream of study.

2. Competence to handle different engineering problems practically and academically in the aviation industry.

3. Sufficient knowledge and skills to effectively and efficiently manage various projects related to the aviation sector.

4. Skills to communicate effectively with different stakeholders by using state-of-the-art technologies and aviation languages in both English and Chinese.

Programme Characteristics

The Aviation Engineering Scheme aims to train students to become aeronautical and aviation engineers who possess strong skills in and in-depth knowledge of engineering and engineering management, as well as a sense of social and environmental responsibility.

BEng (Hons) in Aviation Engineering

Graduates are equipped to pursue careers in aircraft maintenance engineering, aircraft component engineering, aeronautical engineering, aircraft design, control and propulsion systems, navigation, unmanned aerial vehicles and many other engineering disciplines. The programme provides hands-on experience with the support of state-of-the-art facilities, such as supersonic wind tunnels, UAV testing systems and material manufacturing and testing platforms.

BEng (Hons) in Air Transport Engineering

Graduates are equipped to pursue careers in air transport engineering, airport/airline operations and management, aviation safety, air logistics and supply chain management, and human factors engineering. The programme provides hands-on experience with the support of state-of-the-art facilities, such as the Cockpitsonic A320 FTD flight simulator, Cessna flight simulator, avionic systems and human factors equipment.

All admitted students will embark on a Common Year One curriculum. Towards the end of year one, students can decide whether to continue with their initial choice or switch to another choice within the Faculty of Engineering. Those who wish to change to another choice need to join a competitive process through a ranking assessment.
