Singapore- a hub for Aircraft MRO

• currently one of the most comprehensive aerospace
  maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) hubs in
  Asia-Pacific.
• constitutes about 90 of the 4 billion aerospace
  industry and employs over 13,000 people.
• will continue building its capabilities as an
  international one-stop centre in aerospace
  avionics to serve both regional and global
  markets
• In response to this growing industry, we have
  launched a Diploma in Aerospace Avionics (DAA)

RPs Problem Based Learning Approach

• semester is of 16 weeks
• 5 modules every week- one module per day
• study starts at 8.30 am and ends at 4.00 pm
• facilitator meets the students 3 times during the
  day
• the 1st meeting at 8.30 -9.30 am,
• 2nd meeting-10.30 to 11.30 noon,
• 3rd meeting-2.00 to 4.00 pm
• no semester end examination.
• You will be graded every day on the basis of your
  performance
• Besides the daily grade, you also take
  understanding test (open book test) for every
  module 4 times in every semester.
• The module grade consists of two components best
  14/16 daily grades best 3/4 understanding test
  grades
• To pass a module, you must have a C grade
  (GPA2.0).

Some additional information

• Last year the DAA intake was 70
• This year the intake is 200
• Participation in CE activities
• Students get pass or fail grade
• Must participate in diploma-related as well as
  non-diploma related activities
• PP module-students get pass or fail
• About the FYP

Career Prospects

• If you want to work in a aerospace industry, you
  will have to get a license of a Aircraft
  Maintenance Engineer under Category B2
  (Avionics).
• to get license, you have to pass a Basic
  Examination given by CAAS (Civil Aviation
  Authority of Singapore)
• Examination has 12 modules. Most of the contents
  from these modules is covered under the DAA
  curriculum.
• upon your graduation, you will get an exemption
  for most of these modules
