UK Accredited Online Engineering College

Flexible online engineering courses and qualifications

Diploma in Aircraft Design

iLearn Engineering® is proud to be one the only Online College where students can now gain an accredited qualification in Aircraft Design. 

The iLearn Engineering® Diploma in Aircraft Design is a 40 credit course leading to the qualification of:

Diploma in Aircraft Design (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 Science (recommended*) – the aim of this unit is to develop your skills in scientific principles and theories that underpin the broader engineering curriculum. You will be introduced to scientific methods and techniques to analyse and solve problems within an engineering context including the analysis of heat, fluids and materials.

Unit 2: Aircraft Design and Manufacture (core) – in this highly specialised unit, you will examine the overall aircraft design process before undertaking a design exercise where you will be encouraged to explore the variety of aircraft configurations. You will then select an appropriate configuration to satisfy a given design brief. You will then be guided through a simulated design synthesis process which will involve you selecting and calculating various design parameters to satisfy a given design brief. Your design activities will focus on the propulsion and wing design. Finally, you will examine the principles of manufacturing that are specific to the aerospace industry.

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

“I successfully graduated my Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The studies was good, tutor provide much support. I recommend iLearn Engineering for distance learning Engineering studies.”

Fuad, Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

“So far, in two weeks study I have understood more content with these guys than in one year at part time university. Really good content especially in maths and makes learning a nice smooth progressive path rather than being rushed and pressured. Top notch service 👍”  

Simon, Higher International Certificate in Mechanical Engineering

“This program is providing me with the opportunity to finally finish my engineering degree at the most reasonable cost I’ve seen in the market to date…I highly recommend iLearn Engineering for anyone who wants to get into the field or pickup where they left off.”

Ian, Higher International Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
