STUDYING
, AERONAUTICS AIRCRAFT AND ENGINEERING AT SALFORD
WHAT WILL I STUDY? / Engineering Mathematics Develop your knowledge and skills in mathematical analysis used to solve engineering problems. / Engineering Materials and Electrical Systems Explore the basic properties and applications of materials and of the principles of electronic and electrical engineering. / Engineering Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics Gain an understanding of the internal combustion engine and the gas turbine, and an introduction to refrigeration cycles. / Project and Risk Management You will be introduced to project management techniques, particularly in project planning, organisation and control whilst developing your understanding of project timings, resource allocation and quantitative methods used for decision making in industry. / Engineering Structures and Engineering Dynamics Understand the basic principles of structural behaviour, the nature of stress and strain and the foundation of engineering dynamics in order to tackle simple engineering problems. / Additional Course-Specific Modules Whilst the modules above form the basis of the majority of mechanical and aeronautical degrees at Salford, students will also study coursespecific modules depending on their chosen pathway. Exact modules may vary in order to keep content current.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO STUDY AERONAUTICS AND ENGINEERING AT SALFORD? / Maker Space Our Maker Space encompasses the University’s mission to transform lives, stimulate discovery and realise potential.
Maker Spac
e
The facility enables innovative students, staff and industry partners to use digital fabrication technology to invent, to problem solve, to learn through failure and to collaborate.
/ Societies At the University of Salford, we have a range of student-run societies which cover all aspects of student life, from academia to sports, politics to the environment, performance to faith. Several are linked to our engineering courses – such as Formula Salford and Greenpower who blend engineering and business principles to design, build and promote a race car which is then used to compete alongside other universities – providing likeminded students with a place to socialise, relax and enhance their skills.

WHAT DO OUR STUDENTS THINK? neering, my course “I have a genuine passion for engi especially the lab cts, aspe all and Salford. I enjoyed ng and gave resti inte sessions which were all really k. Also, if wor tical prac some you the chance to do nd in the rsta unde not there is anything that you do urer I lect y ever – ask to id lectures, don’t be afra had was very approachable.” Engineering Graduate Alex Cook BEng,Mechanical Alex Cook
