Aerospace Engineers apply engineering principles to design, develop, and maintain aircraft, spacecraft, and advanced aerospace systems. Their work advances aviation and space technologies, enhances transportation efficiency and safety, and supports innovations that shape the future of global connectivity and exploration.
The Aerospace Engineering programme offers a comprehensive education that prepares students to tackle complex challenges in the aerospace industry. The curriculum combines strong academic rigour with practical learning, equipping students with a solid foundation in mathematics, physics, and core engineering principles. This is complemented by specialised courses in areas such as aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, aerospace structures, and avionics, enabling students to develop the knowledge and skills required to design and analyse modern aerospace systems.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) is the first full-fledged aerospace engineering degree programme in Singapore. Through a blend of coursework and hands-on practical experiences, the curriculum builds a strong foundation in aerospace engineering principles, is well-rounded, and industry relevant. Established partnerships with industry leaders such as Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney keep the curriculum and projects on the cutting-edge.
#1 in Asia and #4 in the world for Mechanical, Aeronautical & Manufacturing, according to the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject.
