The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Airframe and Engine Maintenance is designed to provide students with a detailed knowledge of the structural and mechanical systems of aircraft. The program is balanced to cover both theoretical knowledge and practical skills so that graduates are capable of meeting the technical requirements of the industry.
The curriculum usually starts with basic engineering courses. These courses include basic sciences such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Through these courses, students develop the ability to analyze and solve engineering problems. In addition, materials science courses provide students with a critical foundation in understanding the properties of various materials used in airframes and engines and why these materials are preferred.
Specifically, airframe and engine maintenance courses provide students with in-depth knowledge of the design, function and maintenance techniques of airframes and engines. These courses cover topics such as engine mechanics, electrical systems, hydraulic systems, fuel systems and aviation electronics. Students learn how aircraft engines work and how to maintain and repair engine components.
Avionics courses focus on the electronic and computer systems of aircraft. In these courses, students learn how to install, maintain and repair flight control systems, navigation systems, communication systems and other avionics components. In addition, aircraft electronic safety systems and troubleshooting techniques are also emphasized.
Hands-on training is another important component of the program. During these periods, students work on real airplanes and engines, giving them the opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into practice and gain real-world experience. In addition to the theoretical training students receive, such practical courses develop their ability to solve problems they will encounter in the field.
Finally, safety protocols and quality control courses teach students the standards and regulations that must be applied in aircraft maintenance activities. These courses provide an understanding of how safety is ensured and quality is controlled in the aviation industry. Students also learn about safety regulations and standards set by international aviation regulatory bodies. This knowledge is essential for graduates to work effectively in the global aviation industry.
