Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace Engineering focuses on the helicopters, rockets and spacecrafts as well as engineers include Bombardier, Messier-Dowty, application of advanced technical knowledge cars, trucks and trains are designed by aerospace Pratt & Whitney, Goodrich, Magellan Aerospace, to the design, construction, testing and engineers using a wide range of expertise Honeywell, National Research Council of Canada, maintenance of vehicles that traverse land, from propulsion to aerodynamics to control Transport Canada and many others. water, air and space. Vehicles such as airplanes, systems. Examples of employers of aerospace

Accreditation Program The Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Aerospace Engineering is fully accredited by The program is very comprehensive and includes the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Graduates are academically qualiﬁed to directly related studies in aerodynamics, stress obtain a Professional Engineering Licence (P.Eng.), once all work experience requirements are analysis and structural design, flight mechanics, met. Information on Professional Engineering Licences can be found at the Professional Engineers stability and control, aircraft performance, propulsion, Ontario website at www.peo.on.ca. avionics and systems, together with courses in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering. Specialization in Management Science Aerospace offers the opportunity to combine engineering skills with a solid The first-year engineering curriculum is common to foundation in management sciences through an optional specialization in all engineering disciplines and includes: Management Science. Tailored to prepare graduates for careers in engineering ■ Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or applied science management, this option also prepares them for ■ Computer Programming management-related graduate studies or an MBA program. ■ Material Science Fundamentals ■ Engineering Graphics and Design Ryerson Institute for Aerospace Design and Innovation Students wishing to gain industrial experience through short-term Second-year courses cover the fundamental sciences projects can apply to the Ryerson Institute for Aerospace Design of aerospace engineering and include: and Innovation (RIADI). RIADI places students with a participating ■ Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics industrial corporation, usually over the summer term, to work on a ■ Strength of Materials and Vibrations speciﬁc engineering project. Over the summer, students gain valuable work experience and earn ■ Electrical Engineering (fundamentals) wages consistent with junior engineering employees. ■ Flight Mechanics

Industrial Internship Program Third- and fourth-year studies include: Third-year students with a clear academic standing may opt to enrol in ■ Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance the Industrial Internship Program (IIP). If selected by one of the partner ■ Control Systems corporations, a student interns for a period of 12 – 16 months. After the ■ Aircraft Components and Structural Design completion of the industrial internship, students return to the academic ■ Propulsion program to complete their ﬁnal year of study. Enrolment in the IIP extends ■ Avionics and Systems the undergraduate program to ﬁve years. In fourth-year, students are required to specialize in Student Design Groups either the: Students have the option to participate in a number of design groups ■ Aeronautical Design Stream (airplanes, helicopters) whose members apply their knowledge in competitions with other or universities. The Ryerson Aerospace Design (RAD) group participates ■ Space Systems Design Stream (spacecraft, satellites) in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aero Design Competition. or The objective is to design and construct a remotely-controlled model ■ Avionics Design Stream, continued from third year aircraft that can carry a payload. The Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (CASI) Design Group recently won first place in the CASI Free- Flight Model Glider Competition. The Ryerson Rocketry Club designs and constructs rockets for competition in local model rocketry events. Jarvis St
