Course Details

BSc (Hons) Aircraft Maintenance Engineering

Course Description

Year One Year one provides you with basic knowledge of routine mathematical methods, essential scientific principles, and engineering practices. It is your introduction to the use of design tools, manufacturing and workshop techniques, health and safety protocols, project management and professional practice. EASA Modules: * Analytical Method for Engineers * Physics* * Electrical Fundamentals * Electronic Fundamentals* * Basic Aerodynamics* * Human Factors* * Aviation Legislation Non EASA modules: * Professional Practice for Engineers Year Two In your second year, you will begin to explore key areas such as aerodynamics and flight mechanics, supported by further mathematics and mechanics. You will develop a practical engineering base through group work on aircraft design, and understand regulatory and environmental requirements. EASA Modules: * Maintenance Practices for B1 licence – 40 credits * Instrumentation Systems * Materials & Hardware * Propeller Non EASA modules: * Engineering Management & Business Constraints Year Three Year three modules cover a range of technical subjects including stability and control, propulsion, aircraft materials and structures, and modelling techniques. The modules allow you to evaluate and analyse key challenges in aeronautical engineering and devise costeffective solutions. You will learn about planning, operations, regulations, health and safety, and management, which are important issues within aeronautical engineering. You will also have flying lessons and complete a project in a topic of your choice. EASA Modules: * Aerodynamics of Flight * Aircraft Structures & Systems * Gas Turbine Engine – 30 credits Non EASA modules: * Project Research Methodology* * Engineering Project Management and Business Methods * Individual Project – 30 credits *10 credit module The above information is a sample module description for illustrative purposes. Modules and module content may change from time to time.

Career outcomes

This aircraft maintenance engineering degree course offers excellent career opportunities worldwide. The EASA Part-66 Licence qualifies its holders to be selected for further aircraft-type authorisation before being permitted to sign off aircraft for flight. You can gain employment throughout the UK and across the world with manufacturing companies, commercial airlines, air-taxi operators, flying schools, the armed forces and commercial long-haul flights. There is a growing market for maintenance, repair and overhaul of military and commercial aircraft, or you may choose sub-contract work.
