Aerospace Engineering Aerospace Engineering focuses on the application of advanced technical knowledge to the design, construction, testing and maintenance of vehicles that traverse land, water, air and space. Vehicles such as airplanes,
helicopters, rockets and spacecrafts as well as cars, trucks and trains are designed by aerospace engineers using a wide range of expertise from propulsion to aerodynamics to control systems. Examples of employers of aerospace
Accreditation The Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Aerospace Engineering is fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Graduates are academically qualified to obtain a Professional Engineering Licence (P.Eng.), once all work experience requirements are met. Information on Professional Engineering Licences can be found at the Professional Engineers Ontario website at www.peo.on.ca. Specialization in Management Science Aerospace offers the opportunity to combine engineering skills with a solid foundation in management sciences through an optional specialization in Management Science. Tailored to prepare graduates for careers in engineering or applied science management, this option also prepares them for management-related graduate studies or an MBA program. Ryerson Institute for Aerospace Design and Innovation Students wishing to gain industrial experience through short-term projects can apply to the Ryerson Institute for Aerospace Design and Innovation (RIADI). RIADI places students with a participating industrial corporation, usually over the summer term, to work on a specific engineering project. Over the summer, students gain valuable work experience and earn wages consistent with junior engineering employees. Industrial Internship Program Third-year students with a clear academic standing may opt to enrol in the Industrial Internship Program (IIP). If selected by one of the partner corporations, a student interns for a period of 12 – 16 months. After the completion of the industrial internship, students return to the academic program to complete their final year of study. Enrolment in the IIP extends the undergraduate program to five years. Student Design Groups Students have the option to participate in a number of design groups whose members apply their knowledge in competitions with other universities. The Ryerson Aerospace Design (RAD) group participates in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aero Design Competition. The objective is to design and construct a remotely-controlled model aircraft that can carry a payload. The Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (CASI) Design Group recently won first place in the CASI FreeFlight Model Glider Competition. The Ryerson Rocketry Club designs and constructs rockets for competition in local model rocketry events.
engineers include Bombardier, Messier-Dowty, Pratt & Whitney, Goodrich, Magellan Aerospace, Honeywell, National Research Council of Canada, Transport Canada and many others.
Program The program is very comprehensive and includes directly related studies in aerodynamics, stress analysis and structural design, flight mechanics, stability and control, aircraft performance, propulsion, avionics and systems, together with courses in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering. The first-year engineering curriculum is common to all engineering disciplines and includes: ■ Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics ■ Computer Programming ■ Material Science Fundamentals ■ Engineering Graphics and Design Second-year courses cover the fundamental sciences of aerospace engineering and include: ■ Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics ■ Strength of Materials and Vibrations ■ Electrical Engineering (fundamentals) ■ Flight Mechanics Third- and fourth-year studies include: ■ Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance ■ Control Systems ■ Aircraft Components and Structural Design ■ Propulsion ■ Avionics and Systems
In fourth-year, students are required to specialize in either the: ■ Aeronautical Design Stream (airplanes, helicopters) or ■ Space Systems Design Stream (spacecraft, satellites) or ■ Avionics Design Stream, continued from third year
