Pre-requisites and Co-requisites

AERO5393 Aerospace Materials 1

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to provide training on non metallic aerospace materials and related processes.
This course develops an understanding of the structure, properties and the use of polymeric materials, composite materials and adhesives in engineering applications.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

VBH746 Aerospace Material 2


Learning Outcomes


1. Explain and conduct tests to demonstrate the properties of plastics used in the aerospace industry.
2. Explain the classifications, characteristics and quality requirements of adhesive used in the aerospace industry.
3. Explain and analyse the use of composites in aircraft construction and the distribution of stresses within a composite section.


Details of Learning Activities

This repeat class is run in an intensive and focused tutorial format. Students are required to prepare themselves before they go to the class. For example, students are required to revisit and bring their previous handouts, assignments, examination papers and all other learning materials to the class and to jot down their questions orderly on paper for intensive and focused tutoring.


To support this kind of intensive and focused tutorial format, a range of learning materials such as audio visual, printed copy …etc. will be used as needed. One-to-one and small group instruction, discussion and illustration will also be included.


Learning materials will be progressively posted on the S-drive. Optional multi-choice exercises will be posted on the S-drive.
