DIPLOMA IN AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING (S88)


WHAT YOU'LL STUDY

The course provides a solid foundation in Mechanical Engineering for subsequent specialisation in aircraft-related modules. Teaching and Learning is based on the proven CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) framework and Design Thinking methodology.

The SP elective framework offers students options to pursue their passion and/or meet different career needs, and is an integral part of the holistic education we seek to provide to our students. The learning experiences of this elective framework help students in their development as self-directed, versatile, life-long learners, which are essential in today’s volatile and changing societal as well as occupational landscape.
