Aviation Maintenance Engineering Technology (Airframe and Aeroengines): Diploma
Program Mission
Working in partnership with industry, the Diploma in Aviation Maintenance Engineering Technology (Airframe and Aeroengines) program provides quality education that prepares highly skilled technicians capable of serving the community and fulfilling personal ambitions with excellence. Graduates may choose to continue into the additional two years of the program to become innovative engineers.
License Requirement
Diploma program curriculum is aligned with General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) CAR-66 syllabus for License Categories A1 and A3 and is compatible with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Diploma graduates who passed GCAA module exams will be awarded with a Certificate of Recognition on behalf of GCAA. After working in a GCAA CAR-145 approved Aircraft Maintenance Organisation for 1 year, they will be eligible to apply GCAA for an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License in categories A1 or A3. Students seeking a Certificate of Recognition, must complete AVT 2806 Work Placement in Aviation in an actual maintenance working environment and the duration shouldn’t be less than 300 hours.
Program Goal
The Program Educational Objectives of the Diploma in Aviation Maintenance Engineering Technology: Airframe and
Aeroengines program are to:
- Provide aviation graduates with the technical knowledge and skills required by the aviation industry to maintain a variety of aircraft systems to the highest standards.
- Prepare graduates for a successful career with strong communication and teamwork skills and an understanding of the global, ethical and social implications of the aviation industry.
- Prepare graduates with a strong commitment to lifelong learning, continuing education and professional growth.
- Provide graduates the commitment to contribute actively to achieving the regulatory authorities’ mission.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon graduation, a HCT graduate in Diploma of Aviation Maintenance Engineering Technology (Airframe and Aeroengines) program should demonstrate:
a. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to identify, explain, formulate and solve well‐defined engineering problems appropriate to the aviation maintenance and in accordance with regulations and manufacturer's instructions.
b. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for well‐defined engineering problems related to Aviation Engineering Technology.
c. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in well‐defined technical and non‐technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature, computer software, information and communication technologies at a level required for basic aviation maintenance.
d. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, experiments and practical activities and to analyze and interpret the results.
e. An ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team.
