Diploma in Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Space

The iLearn Engineering^® Diploma in Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Space is a 40 credit course leading to the qualification of:

Diploma in Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Space (EduQual Level 5)

The course is delivered as an online engineering course, consisting of two 20 credit units. The first unit is a recommended unit which is designed to deliver some fundamental learning required to progress onto the second, specific core unit.

Unit 1: Engineering Maths (recommended*)

In this unit covers the fundamentals of mathematics required for successful completion of the specialised unit. You will be brought up to speed with algebras, trigonometry, statistics and basic calculus. If you already hold a mathematics qualification you may be eligible to choose an alternate unit.

Unit 2: Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Space (core)

In this specialised aerodynamics unit, you will examine the principles of incompressible flow which are then are applied to aerofoils, wings and whole aircraft. A review of drag and its minimisation is then studied. Propulsion is considered by examining the gas turbine engine and its principles of operation. Finally, high speed flows including transonic, supersonic and space flight are considered.

* The recommended unit can be replaced by a different unit of your choice depending on your personal preference, or previous learning experience.

Course Information

The Diploma in Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Space from iLearn Engineering^® is an accredited online course that provides comprehensive knowledge of the principles of aerodynamics, propulsion, and space. The program covers a wide range of topics, including the basic concepts of fluid mechanics, aerodynamic forces and moments, flow over different types of aerofoils and wings, propulsion, high speed flight and space flight.

Designed for individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in the aerospace industry, this online course provides a solid foundation for further study in areas such as aircraft design, spacecraft engineering, and propulsion system design. It is also an excellent option for professionals who are looking to upskill or retrain in these areas.
