Overview

The Bachelor of Technology (Aviation) involves three years of study commencing with a common program of foundation science and engineering courses with other first-year technology and engineering students. In second and third years, the programs diverge into their specialties with the Bachelor of Technology (Aviation) focusing on human factors in the aviation discipline. There is also an emphasis on the function of Pilots, Air Combat Officers, Maritime Aviation Warfare Officers and Joint Battlefield Airspace Controllers (Air Traffic Controllers) and their role in aviation, in infrastructure and safety management systems. Other streams such as aerodynamics and aviation systems often incorporate problem-based learning informed by academic research and industrial practice. Electives and a final-semester project enable students to pursue particular interests both within and outside the specialist discipline.
