The academic content and curriculum of the Aircraft Technology Associate Degree Program is designed to provide students with basic and applied knowledge in the field of aircraft technologies. This program includes courses and applications for students who want to gain technical expertise in the aviation industry.
Basic Sciences and Mathematics: In the early stages of the program, students are taught basic sciences and mathematics. Physics, chemistry and mathematics are the basic building blocks to help students understand more technical subjects.
Aircraft Engineering Fundamentals: Topics such as aircraft structures, aerodynamics, flight dynamics are essential for students to understand how airplanes are designed and function. These courses cover the basic functional and structural characteristics of airplanes.
Aircraft Systems and Components: This course introduces students to the various systems of airplanes, such as aircraft engines, avionics, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, etc. Students learn how these systems work and how they are maintained and repaired.
Aircraft Maintenance and Repair: An important part of the aircraft technology program is aircraft maintenance and repair techniques. These courses teach students the routine inspection and maintenance of aircraft, troubleshooting and repair techniques.
Safety and Quality Management: Safety is of vital importance in the aviation industry. Therefore, the program includes courses on safety standards, quality management and flight safety.
Practical Training and Workshops: Workshops and practical training are important for putting theoretical knowledge into practice. By working on real aircraft parts and simulators, students reinforce the theoretical knowledge they have learned in practice.
Internship and Field Training: As part of the program, students are encouraged to do internships in the industry and gain experience in real work environments. This enables students to connect with the business world and develop their professional skills.
The overall aim of the curriculum is to provide students with a comprehensive education in the field of aircraft technologies, while at the same time providing them with the practical skills and knowledge required by the aviation industry. This program provides students with a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience necessary for a successful career in the aviation industry.
