就读体验
“机库日!除此之外,我喜欢更多的技术讲座。了解你甚至不知道存在的系统真是太棒了。
——南威尔士大学飞机维修工程专业二年级学生
"Hangar days! Besides that, I love the more technical lectures. It’s amazing to learn about systems you don’t even know existed."
——Second year aircraft maintenance engineering student, University of South Wales
“其中一项任务涉及在计算机上建造和设计一架飞机,然后在模拟器/游戏中驾驶这架飞机进行测试。另一个最受欢迎的是使用 CFD 软件的机翼几何形状和流体力学仿真。”
——伦敦布鲁内尔大学航空航天工程专业二年级学生
"One assignment involved building and designing a plane on a computer and then flying that plane in a simulator/game to test it. Another favourite is wing geometry and fluid mechanics simulations using CFD software."
——Second year aerospace engineering student, Brunel University London

申请建议
无论是个人陈述技巧还是在申请或求职信中,UCAS官网明确指出提及一下几点会更好。
为什么要学习航空航天工程。是什么让你对这个专业产生了兴趣——是在看Tim Peake的时候还是Virgin Galactic?还是你读过的东西?如果是这样,请谈谈它们为什么或如何影响您的选择。Try and get across why you want to study aerospace engineering. What turned you on to the subject – was it watching Tim Peake or Virgin Galactic? Or was it something you’ve read? If so, talk about why or how they influenced your choices.
具备许多软技能也很重要,比如团队合作、解决问题、技术能力......所以,想想你什么时候表现出良好的团队合作,比如在运动队或课后俱乐部,以及你做了哪些课外活动可以展示你的技术技能,比如编码或视频编辑。There are many soft skills that are important too, like teamwork, problem-solving, technical aptitude… So, think about when you’ve displayed good teamwork, like in a sports team or after-school club, and what extracurricular activities you do that might demonstrate your technical skills, like coding or video editing.
工程师往往好奇心强,主动出击。你有没有在家里拆开玩具或物品并试图修理它?还是从头开始构建一些东西?也许你在学校参加了一个工程或设计竞赛,展示了你的创造力和独创性?Engineers are often curious and take the initiative. Have you ever taken apart a toy or object at home and tried to repair it? Or built something from scratch? Maybe you entered an engineering or design competition at school that shows your creativity and originality?
之后你打算做什么?通过参考你读过的资源或你所知道的公司,以及你在完成学业后看到自己的位置,向你展示你对这个行业的了解。What do you plan to do afterwards? Show you understand the industry by referencing resources you've read or companies you’re aware of, and where you see yourself after you’ve completed your studies.
