Stream Selection for AERO Students
• Select your stream anytime now (today if you want)• Must be done before May 15, 2016 to ensure you will be able to register
in your courses.(If you want to take summer courses, complete it by April 30)
• Use Carleton Central:Under “Online Student Applications”Use “Change of Program Elements” to select your stream.You will receive an email once the request has been processed, should be within a few days.

Canadian Aerospace –
Important Facts and Figures
■ Key early milestones
– First powered flight in the Commonwealth – Baddeck, 23 Feb 1909, AES Silver Dart
– Canada was third nation to have its own satellite built and launched – 1962, Alouette
■ Aerospace is a national industry with regional clusters
– ~25% of economic activity outside of Ontario/Quebec
– Montreal region has third largest concentration of aircraft manufacturing activity
■ Canada is a Global leader
– Small and microsatellites, civil helicopters, small gas turbines, simulators, landing gear
systems, regional aircraft, business jets, maintenance, avionics
■ Economic impact (Ref AIAC Aerospace Economic Impact, 2010)
– ~80k employees, $22B in revenue (~80% from exports)
– Employment normalized to population – 2nd versus all other nations (France is 1st)
– Revenue normalized to GDP - 2nd versus all other nations (France is 1st)
■ Emerson Report (2012) highlights challenges and opportunities

Aerospace at Carleton
■ First BEng program in Canada (1988) and largest
by enrolment (160 in 2012 vs. 30 in 1992)
■ Four streams
A - Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Vehicle Performance
B - Aerospace Structures, Systems and Vehicle Design
C - Aerospace Electronics and Systems
D - Space Systems Design
■ Originally only Stream A and B
– Stream C added in the early 1990’s
– Stream D added in 2007-08
5
Core Aerospace Courses
■ Most or all AERO students take
– AERO 3002 Design and Practice (A,B,C,D)
– AERO 4003 Systems Design (A,B,C)
– AERO 4907 (Capstone Design Project)
– AERO 3700 Aerospace Materials (A,B, D-elect.)
■ There are many stream-specific courses
– Can be taken as electives (space permitting)
