Aeronautical Engineering (M.A.Sc.)

This program leads to a Master of Applied Science in Aeronautical Engineering at the Royal Military College of Canada, offered by the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. It is a thesis-based graduate degree normally comprised of five term courses at the graduate level plus a thesis, of which at least two courses must normally be in an Aeronautical Engineering subject, and is normally completed over two academic years including the intervening summer when pursued full-time. Coursework and research areas include aeroelasticity, gas turbine analysis, spacecraft propulsion, compressible fluid dynamics, composite materials for aerospace applications, aircraft structural design and repair, computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamics of turbomachines, and aircraft performance. All students must complete a zero-credit academic integrity course (AI500) by the end of their first term. The program is delivered on campus at RMC's Kingston site and is open to both military and civilian applicants seeking thesis-based research training in aerospace engineering.
