SESA1019 2027-28
Aerospace Materials
This first-year module introduces the physical origins and properties of materials and explores how these properties govern their selection in aerospace engineering applications. A variety of materials will be studied, including metals and alloys, high-temperature materials, ceramics, composites, and advanced emerging materials such as self-healing materials, smart materials, and metamaterials.
The module establishes a foundational understanding of aerospace materials, forming the basis for subsequent topics in key modules like Statics and Dynamics, Aerospace Structures, and Aircraft/Spacecraft Structural Design. The focus is on linking material properties to their practical applications in aerospace components, providing a foundation for tackling complex aerospace design and structural challenges. -

Aerospace Materials & Structures
This second year module continues to develop the links between structures and materials, building on the fundamentals established in the first year course on mechanics, structures and materials. The relationship between composition, microstructure and properties of materials is linked to a deeper understanding of their structural performance. This assessment of structural performance is also developed through more advanced stress and deflection analyses for more complex engineering components and systems. This combination of approaches will strengthen the students’ understanding of the interplay between materials engineering and structural design. This module also develops the foundations for more advanced third year and fourth year modules in materials and solid mechanics. -

Aerospace Mechanics & Control
This module introduces the fundamental concepts of aerospace mechanics and control including modelling, motion analysis, stability, characteristic motion response as well as design of control systems for aerospace vehicles.
The main focus is on the three main components of a closed-loop control system:
- dynamic systems, presenting their definition, as well as tools to analyse their response and stability characteristics;
- control systems, formally introducing them and concentrating on their design as well as how they can be used to modify the stability characteristics of a dynamic system;
- and sensing systems, overviewing their different types and working principles, basic design/selection criteria and their impact on the stability characteristics of a dynamic system.
Throughout the module control design strategies to deal with uncertainty in both the dynamic and the sensing system are covered. -

ELEC2304 2028-29
Aerospace Simulation and Modelling
This module introduces some advanced programming, simulation and design modelling frameworks and tools. Teaching activities are a combination of taught sessions, expanded self-study supported by the Professional Skills Hub and practical hands-on sessions in computer laboratories. The tools and techniques studied in this module are also used in the companion design module in practical hands-on applications.
For Aerospace Electronics students, the analogue relationship between aerospace and electronic systems are explored, enabling electronic circuit problems, aerospace and mechanical systems to be treated in the same framework. Efficient approaches to represent, simulate and analyse dynamics systems are developed and applied. Modelling, analysis and programming techniques are also introduced to understand, simulate and visualise such dynamic systems. -
