24 hours of formal classes using a range of learning methods including lectures, guest speakers, group work, independent supported learning and collaborative work. This will be heavily supported by an extensive VLE environment.
Up to 12 hours in a lab or similar facility analysing either laboratory turbojet engine or using simulation software to simulate the running of such an engine.

None.

A range of subject areas at an advanced level will be covered including:
IC engine design for aviation applications.
Gas turbine engine design with detailed investigation of: fan, compressor, turbine blade materials and manufacturing processes.
Design of engine intakes for subsonic and supersonic flight.
Design of engine exhaust systems for subsonic and supersonic flight, including reheat. Operational design and testing to avoid surge and stall. FADEC design, environmental considerations.
Alternative engines including solid and liquid fuelled rocket engines.
