Work Study Certificate in Aerospace Engineering

Work-Study Certificate in Aerospace Engineering (ELAE)
Aircraft Maintenance Practices (NP-EAMP)
This module introduces students to the workshop practices and the various hand and power tools used in the aerospace industry. Students will be able to apply the knowledge they acquired in aircraft Materials and hardware to practice such as doing riveting, lock wiring and installation of tubing. Students will also be instructed on the maintenance procedures such as maintenance planning, modification procedures, stores procedures and certification/release procedures.
Aircraft Materials and Hardware (NP-EAMH)
Students learn the various types of materials such as ferrous and non-ferrous as well as composite materials. Students will also be taught about the importance of material characteristics and their application in the aerospace industry. In the latter portion of the training, students will be introduced to the various standard hardware such as aircraft rivets, locking devices, bolts, studs, nuts and screws.
Basic Aerodynamics & Aircraft Structures (NP-EBAAS)
This module will provide students with basic aerodynamics principles before introducing aircraft structures. By doing so, students will have a better appreciation of aircraft structure and design considerations.
Human Factors (NP-EHF)
This module is designed to help students to gain an understanding of the importance of human factors that can affect a person in the workplace.
Topics included such as human performance and limitations, social psychology, and human error will be introduced in this module.
Introduction to SAR 145 (NP-EIS145)
As the aerospace industry is strictly regulated, understanding the regulatory framework is therefore important. This module introduces students to the regulatory framework and the SAR 145 awareness. Students will be introduced to the various certifications needed by the organization and individual staff.
On-Job- Training 2 (OJT) (NP-EOJT2)
On-Job-Training 1 (OJT) (NP-EOJT1)
WSP participants can apply and hone their newly-acquired skills covered in the five modules through the two-part on-the-job training programmes specific to aircraft maintenance practices designed by their company.
