The BSc. Aeronautical and Airworthiness Engineering programme offers two (2) technical areas of specialisations in fixed and rotary wing technologies: 

1. Airframe and Powerplant (Mechanical) 
2. Avionics Engineering 

The programme is structured to include the complete set of regulated Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AME) courses for each area of specialisation. A key element of the programme construct is the inclusion of engineering courses grounded in mathematics, science, and design as well as ethical and environmental conscientiousness. It includes aeronautical engineering courses in structural design, materials selection, flight mechanics modelling, aircraft performance, stability and control, simulation, automation and testing of aircraft and/or components for return to service 

These when combined with the regulatory technical content of the AME, will prepare graduates to function in engineering design, investigative, repair, continued airworthiness and overhaul functions in Aviation Maintenance and Air Operator Organizations. 

Students will be exposed to modern workshops and live aircraft activity on the University’s in house Boeing 727-200F and Sikorsky S76A++ fixed and rotary wing aircraft. 

Aviation is a robust and growing industry sector that provides global reach and richness in job prospects. This programme provides students with the knowledge and skills sought after by aviation company’s worldwide.
