To produce competent, technically skillful, and innovative graduates, the Aeronautical Engineering Technology (Aircraft maintenance) programme is designed to have a combination of academic component and aircraft maintenance licensing component. For the academic component, the offered courses cover all areas under aeronautical engineering technology such as aerodynamics, aircraft structure and design, propulsion, aircraft systems and control, and material technology. These courses are conducted through lectures (face to face or online), tutorials, laboratory experiments, Bachelor degree projects, and workshop practices, which are all accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
The curriculum is designed with an emphasis on practical and hands-on sessions in the laboratories and workshop. Laboratory works and practices are developed to complement the theory learnt. In one laboratory session, the number of students is limited to a maximum of 5 students per group. Students are trained to experience more practical laboratory work to prepare them to be a competent professional.
During lecture and tutorial sessions, the maximum numbers of students are normally limited to 30 students. Other instructional methods include group discussion, presentation, assignment, quizzes and group projects. Problem-based learning is used to enhance students’ ability in problem-solving, troubleshooting skills and critical thinking.
In addition to the traditional teaching and learning strategies, other strategies including active, cooperative, collaborative and problem-based learning, innovation in teaching and learning have been implemented. The application of the learning management system (Author and Google Classroom), game-based learning (Kahoot), multimedia and specific software has been integrated into the learning process as well.
Furthermore, the development of students’ soft skills such as analytical and critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork and effective communication are also embedded throughout the programme courses. Exposures to engineering practices such as talks by industrial advisors, and industrial visits are integrated throughout the curriculum.
For professional licensing components, students will go through structured programmes that are authorized by the Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM). The programmes contain both theoretical and practical aspects that finally enable students to obtain the aircraft maintenance license.
UTHM offers conducive infrastructure of modern infrastructure including the library, faculty buildings equipped with the latest lab, lecture halls, sports centres, and comfortable hostels ensure that the University can offer an excellent service for students and lecturers in teaching and learning.
Classroom
The main building hosts two designated classrooms for your theoretical knowledge learning. These spacious and well-equipped classrooms provide you with a comfortable environment to fully absorb all the materials provided in learning session. Both of the classrooms are air-conditioned and are equipped with LCD projectors and white screens. Free wifi is also available throughout the building to enable you to access the internet at any time, anywhere.
Library
The main building is known as the Tunku Tun Aminah Library. The library stores more than 230,000 copies of books, 15,000 titles of thesis and 25,000 items of audio-visual material. The library also subscribes to 24 packages of database, e-books and 170 titles of e-journals. Also located inside this library is the AATA Student Lounge, a lounge designated for you to relax and hangout.
Laboratory
The laboratories are designed to complement your study if you opt to enrol with UTHM Aeronautical Degree + Licence programme. Here is where all sorts of research and experiments are carried out. You will receive exposure to hands-on technology practice.
There are many types of laboratories for you to explore such as Technology Aeronautic Laboratory, Computer Laboratory, Fluid Laboratory, Aerodynamic Laboratory and Material Laboratory.
The aeronautical engineering technology programme with aircraft maintenance qualification will prepares graduates with knowledge, problem solving ability and skills to enter into the respective careers in aviation. UTHM is aiming to produce graduates not only to fulfil the Malaysian need of manpower for licensed aircraft maintenance engineer but also for respective global needs. The graduates are expected to perform not only their specific duties but also to be part of the management team. Graduates may also choose to embark on professional careers in the following areas:
