Asia is shaping up to be a strong growth engine for the global aviation sector. Growing demands from China, India, the ASEAN region and other Asian countries will increase air traffic and aircraft fleet size. Singapore is in a strong position to capitalize on the new opportunities presented by this trend. Singapore is currently a major regional centre for aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO). Increasingly, aerospace companies are also locating their R & D and manufacturing operations here. The 300 hectare Seletar Aerospace Park has been developed to host integrated supply chains, MRO, other business and general aviation activities The MRO sector constitutes about 90% of the S$7.2 billion aerospace industry and employs over 19,000 people. Singapore will continue building its capabilities as an international One-Stop centre in aerospace industry to serve both regional and global markets, supported by the rapidly growing air travel in the region.
In response to this burgeoning industry, Diploma in Aerospace Avionics (DAA) offers an advantage of the immense opportunities in the Asia Pacific aerospace industry.
Programme Objectives
This programme aims to develop you into a knowledgeable and enterprising young professional in the field of aerospace avionics technologies, in particular, aircraft electrical systems, instrumentation, avionics and sensors. You will be adept in the art of problem solving and will be an effective learner in the ever-evolving arena of this high-tech industry.
The programme will provide a well-rounded education comprising both technical know-how and general capabilities. Discipline and specialisation-specific modules will equip you with a solid understanding of aerospace avionics. General modules will help you prepare the ground for innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship, as well as train you in communication and lifelong learning skills.
State-of the-art Facilities and Laboratories
DAA students will get to enjoy the modern facilities and equipment in the A320-Aircraft Cockpit Simulator Lab, Aircraft Communications and navigation Systems Lab, Aviation Maintenance Practices Lab, andAircraft Electrical Systems Lab.
Industry Immersion Programme (IIP) and Final Year Project (FYP)
DAA students will go through a 20 weeks internship programme either locally or overseas during their course at RP. They will get an opportunity to work/visit in world class companies like SIA Engineering, Rolls-Royce, ST Aerospace, Singapore Aero Engine Services Private Ltd(SAESL), Singapore Test Services, GE Aviation, Panasonic Avionics Corporation(PAC), Rockwell Collins, GE Aviation, Thales Solutions Asia Pte Ltd, ACE Services and many more.
DAA students will also have a chance to work on projects in collaboration with industry during the 3rd year of their studies. They will also have an opportunity to work on projects such as Singapore Amazing Flying Competition, World Skills Completion.
Student Overseas Study Trips
To prepare students for global economy, the DAA organises 2-4 student overseas study trips every year to countries like China and India. During such trips students get to visit the MRO companies and renowned universities. Such study trips broaden student’s perspectives and prepare them well for global roles in the aviation industry.
Career Prospects
DAA graduates can look forward to excellent career prospects and ample opportunities in the aerospace as well as electronics industries. There are potential employment opportunities available in more than 100 aircraft MRO companies and companies that are engaged in design, development, manufacturing and testing of aircraft flight components or in-flight entertainment systems. Graduates can be employed as assistant or associate engineers in diverse areas such as product design and development, equipment testing, technical marketing, applications support, and manufacturing as well as technical support personnel. The DAA graduates can also become Aircraft Maintenance Licensed Engineer under category B2(Avionics and Electrical Systems).
Further Studies
Graduates may also choose to pursue further education and to this end, all our diploma programmes are designed to meet the requirements for advanced standing in local and overseas Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs).
