This may or may not be a good course, but it's the sort of innovation in aeronautics/aviation that the traditional aeronautical engineering universities just aren't taking up. I used to look down my nose at this sort of thing - I don't any more.

Arguably, the real test of the value of a degree is whether or not it has been placed before an appropriate accreditation body - if not, why not, and what the outcome was. For example, with aeronautical/avionics engineering degrees the appropriate bodies are the RAeS, the IMechE and the IEE. Full accreditation, for example, of an MEng degree allows the holder to progress towards CEng status without the extra postgraduate examinations called 'matching sections', so accreditation is an important attribute of a degree programme.
