Aviation Maintenance Engineering Technology (Airframe and Aeroengines): Bachelor
Program Mission
Prepare graduates to be successful as technicians and engineers embracing innovation and discovery and striving for life-long learning and professional development in the field of Aviation Maintenance Engineering Technology.
Program Description
The Bachelor of Aviation Maintenance Engineering Technology (Airframe and Aeroengines) (BAVET) program articulates into the GCAA licensed outcome which is approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) UAE (CAR147/02/2009). The program provides the graduates with excellent knowledge and skills to work effectively and professionally in the aviation community. Furthermore, it has the important element of broad education and continuous lifelong learning abilities.
Graduates can take positions in the aviation industry and can work individually or in teams to practically apply Aviation Maintenance skills and solutions with consideration of the industry regulations and ethics. Students will graduate with a Bachelor degree and after a further two years industry experience and meeting the General Civil Aviation Authority requirements they will have a license of category ‘B1.1’ (Airframe and Aeroengines). They also have the option to exit the program with an associate degree after completion of the second year (see associate degree requirements and conditions). Employment opportunities for aviation graduates within the UAE, Gulf region and worldwide are abundant and expanding. Employment opportunities include military operations, state commercial operations, private aviation operations and aviation supporting industries and logistics.
The program curriculum covers all aviation maintenance training modules required by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and are compatible with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The program also has the main and important engineering courses and the General Studies courses which will prepare the students to be competent engineers and productive educated professionals. Graduates will be ready for positions as aviation engineers and technicians with the technical and managerial skills necessary to enter careers in aviation maintenance, management, and operations. Students will gain the required practical knowledge and skills through labs, practical assignments and work placements.
The curriculum aims to produce high-quality engineers known for productivity, timeliness, dedication, and competence in the workplace. Graduates have the ability to work logically, accurately and efficiently; to gather and use information effectively; and to continue enhancing their careers through lifelong learning. The program stresses the effective use of technology, information resources and engineering tools. The program provides leadership qualities based on moral and ethical principles coupled with sound and rational judgment. Finally, the program is designed to prepare motivated students for graduate studies in Aviation Engineering and other related areas of professional practices.
Students are eligible for a one year Work Experiential Learning experience during their study.
Program Goals
- 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.
