Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering, delivered on campus in Ottawa. A common first year in mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals is followed by a choice of four specialization streams: Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Vehicle Performance, covering aircraft aerodynamics, performance, control, and propulsion; Aerospace Structures, Systems and Vehicle Design, focused on lightweight structures and materials; Aerospace Electronics and Systems, covering aircraft and spacecraft electronics for navigation and guidance; and Space Systems Design, emphasizing spacecraft design and orbital mechanics. A paid co-op option offers work terms of 4, 6, 8, 12, or 16 months. Students have access to design and manufacturing labs, an aerodynamics and wind tunnel lab, a propulsion lab, and a space systems and dynamics lab. The program suits students aiming for careers in aircraft or spacecraft design, propulsion, structures, electronics, or space systems, and it accommodates students choosing a technical specialization partway through their degree rather than at the point of admission.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary school applicants to the Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering apply through OUAC with an OSSD plus six 4U/M courses at the 4U level with no individual grade below 60%. Carleton's BEng admission chart requires Advanced Functions, Calculus and Vectors, Chemistry and Physics for all BEng majors; the Aerospace major's three-year admission-average cut-off has ranged 88-90%, the highest of any BEng major. International applicants apply through Carleton360 or OUAC 105 with transcripts equivalent to an Ontario secondary diploma and must meet Carleton's English-language proficiency standard unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (minimum 6.0 per band), TOEFL 4.5 overall (minimum 4.0 per band; 86 for tests taken before 21 January 2026), Duolingo 120, PTE Academic 55, CAEL 70, or Cambridge C1/C2 176.
