DIPLOMA IN AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING (S88)

FUTURE CAREER AND STUDIES

I can begin my career

The global aerospace industry is set to grow in the coming decades and multiple multi-national companies such as Rolls-Royce, Bombardier Aerospace Services Singapore, Bell Helicopter and Cessna Aircraft have already set up facilities in Seletar Aerospace Park. There will be strong demand for DARE graduates to fill the following roles:

• Aeronautical Engineering Technologist
• Assistant Aeronautical Design and System Engineer
• Assistant Aerospace Sales & Marketing Engineer
• Assistant Aerospace Systems Quality Assurance Engineer
• Assistant Engineering Service Engineer
• Assistant Mechanical Engineer
• Assistant Simulator Systems Engineer
• Assistant Technical Service Engineer
• Assistant Unmanned Vehicle System Design Engineer
• Flight Operations Officer
• Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer
• Aircraft Maintenance Planning Executive

The DARE curriculum also prepares you for the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) Airworthiness Requirements (SAR 66) examinations so that you can become a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer ahead of others!

I can further my studies

As a DARE graduate, you may be offered direct entry/advanced standing at local and overseas universities respectively. They include:

• Nanyang Technological University
