About this Course

Introduction

This is a professional degree programme offered jointly by the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) and Air Transport Training College (ATTC), the Professional Development Centre of the Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers (SIAE). This unique degree programme equips graduates to take advantage of expanding professional opportunities in the fast growing aerospace industry in Singapore and the region.

Industry Need

Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations) enhances the career prospects of:

• Technical specialists currently working in the aerospace industry
  
• Professionals in other industries who wish to move into the aerospace industry
  
• Professionals who wish to upgrade and broaden their academic qualifications
  

Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations) graduates have the option of continuing their professional development through studies at UTS leading to a four-year Bachelor of Engineering degree, a five-year Bachelor of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Practice combined award, or combined five-year engineering and business degrees.

Alternatively, Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations) graduates may enter postgraduate courses in engineering and/or business management including the Master of Engineering Management and Master of Business Administration programs.

Course Objectives

The Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations) is built on a core program common to all UTS degrees in engineering. It provides a comprehensive grounding in three main areas:-

• Engineering Commerce and Management
  
• Engineering Communication and Documentation
  
• Aerospace Operations.
  

Course Structure

The course comprises of two components, namely Core and Field of Practice subjects. For Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations) candidates receiving maximum credit point advanced standing on admission, they will enrol in 24 credit points of core and 24 credit points of field of practice subjects.

Student – Lecturer Ratio

Theory:

The ratio of Lecturer to Students is 1:32 for theory classes

Learning And Teaching Methods

All classes will be a mix of lectures and practical skills training.

(NOTE: Practical training is not applicable for this course)

Student Assessment

ATTC courses are assessed by written examination and project works.

Admission Requirements

The basic admission requirements is a polytechnic engineering diploma or equivalent. Students with that qualification may be granted a maximum credit recognition equivalent to 96 credit points out of the required 144 credit points for a Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations). The typical student getting the maximum advanced standing can expect to complete the course by part-time study in approximately four semesters. Those without a diploma can also be considered based on their performance in other courses and professional experience. Students must also be competent in written and spoken English and the use of basic information technology tools.

Graduation Requirements

Upon successful completion and passed all necessary modules assessments, written examinations and project works. Graduates will be awarded  the ‘Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations)’ by University of Technology, Sydney, Australia

Recognition of Prior Learning for Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations) and Articulation into Bachelor of Engineering (BE)

The two years Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations) course consists of 144 credit points of course work. The maximum advanced standing for holders of Singapore polytechnic diploma holders, or for candidates with appropriate course work experience, is 96 credit points. Candidates with significant science and engineering background, for example Singapore polytechnic diploma holders, can fulfill the requirements of the Aerospace Operations Major by completing specialist subjects in technical communications, operations and management. Bachelor of Engineering Science (Aerospace Operations) graduates will need to complete at least one year of full-time study at UTS to secure a Bachelor of Engineering award.
