Aeronautical Engineering (M.Eng.)

This program leads to a Master of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering at the Royal Military College of Canada, offered by the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. It is a course-based graduate degree comprised of eight term courses at the graduate level plus a project, in place of a thesis, and is normally completed over two academic years including the intervening summer when pursued full-time. Coursework draws on the department's aerospace graduate curriculum, which covers topics such as robust control, aeroelasticity, gas turbine analysis, compressible fluid dynamics, composite materials for aerospace applications, aircraft structural design and repair, computational fluid dynamics, and spacecraft propulsion. All students must complete a zero-credit academic integrity course (AI500) by the end of their first term. The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering maintains laboratories supporting aerospace research and graduate study, and the program is open to both military and civilian applicants. It suits engineers seeking project-based, applied graduate training in aerospace systems rather than a research thesis.
