The subject of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering covers operation and maintenance aspects n and maintenance. The broad subject areas covered during this programme include aircraft structures, propulsion, aerodynamics and workshop & hangar practices. Practical training is provided with in house laboratory facilities and by utilizing actual aircraft available in the department. A strong practical base is supported by conducting field visits and training at aircraft engineering and flying formations of the Sri Lanka Air Force.
The programme is conducted by well qualified internal and external academic staff, having specialization in a variety of distinct sub-disciplines within Aircraft Maintenance Engineering field. Further, assistance of well experienced resource personnel from Civil Aviation Authority is also taken to conduct this programme. This programme promotes research culture, industry collaboration and development of the aviation field both locally and internationally.
Successful completion of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering degree programme will lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, and prepares students to confidently take on positions as competent Aircraft Maintenance Engineers in the Aviation field. Further, this course facilitates the preliminary requirements of obtaining the Aircraft Maintenance Licence issued by CAA SL.
