The space engineering stream may be taken with the aeronautical, mechanical or mechatronic programs offered in the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering. It covers the study of the design, testing, manufacture and implementation of engineering components in one of the most demanding environments – space.

The space engineering specialisation at the University of Sydney is the only one of its kind in Australia focusing specifically on the space engineering community within the region.

The specialisation allows students to study all facets of space engineering, including:

• how materials are used in the space environment
• orbital mechanics
• satellite systems engineering
• advanced spacionic systems
• structural analysis, design, and manufacturing of space vehicle systems
• control and modelling of space vehicles
• analysis of the thermodynamic properties of systems such as re-entry vehicles
• the design of software, computing,electronics and sensing for space vehicles
• advanced space engineering projects that allow students to get hands on experience with novel hybrid rockets, as well as nano-satellite technology
• the fundamentals of aeronautical, mechanical or mechatronic engineering, and how they relate to the space environment.
