It was launched in 2002 inresponse to the demands for qualifiedaircraft maintenance engineers in the rapidlyexpanding aerospace maintenance, repairand overhaul (MRO) industry in Singaporeand the Asia-Pacific region.The DARE course provides a solidgrounding in basic engineering followed byspecialisations in aircraft-related modules.Students undergo pragmatic hands-onlessons in state-of-the-art facilitiesthat simulate real work environment.The learning aids include a 44SU SuperSkyhawk, Cessna 310 and UH-1H Iroquoishelicopter, a jet-engine test cell and a fullmotionflight simulator.Full-Time Third Year HoursET0164 Avionics 75MM3105 Mechanics III 60MM3315 Aerospace Materials 60MM3450 Aircraft Power Plants II 90MM3521 Aircraft Structures 60MM3531 Aircraft Systems 90MM3817 Quality Management (Aeronautical) 60MM3840 Human Factors 60MM305Y/Z Project 90Advanced ModulesMM3110 Aircraft Dynamics & Control 60MM3209 Product Design & Development 60MM3215 Aerospace Component Manufacturing 60MM3873 Finite Element Methods 60MS800M Higher Mathematics 60Collaborations and PartnershipsMAE works closely with the aerospaceindustry and the Civil Aviation Authority ofSingapore (CAAS) to ensure the curriculum isrelevant and robust. DARE students may takethe CAAS examinations to become licensedaircraft maintenance engineers. Local andinternational companies provide internships forthe students.Careers and Further StudiesCareer opportunities in the aerospaceindustry include design, projectmanagement, research, manufacturing,management and marketing.Graduates also have the option of pursuingdegrees at local and overseas universities.Many are offered advanced standing.206 SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC PROSPECTUS 2012 - 2013
