B.Sc. in Aeronautical Engineering (Maintenance)

The university offers this program by regular mode through specific Approved Support Centers. The Aeronautical Engineering- Maintenance concentration is designed in two specialist streams. This program is your passport to certify aircraft’s airworthiness as the undergraduate incorporates the European Aviation Safety Agency* (EASA) syllabus, preparing you with the option to choose any one of the EASA Part 66 Category B1-1 and B2 license examinations. You sit for the EASA license examination at the same time you pursue your undergraduate course at Newport University, which is the first step in gaining a full EASA license. Students will receive strong background in mathematics, the sciences, engineering technology, and the more technical courses and have to complete all total 131 or 129 US Credits in total 4 Years.

The syllabus has divided as following:

A) General Education (GE) Requirements comprises of 20 courses (60 credits).

B) Basic Technology Modules (BEM) Requirements according to EASA Part 66 Category comprises of 9 courses (34 credits) with one practical training capsule. The training capsule of 6 weeks duration has been introduced to familiarize the students with various workshop practices.

C) Specialized Technology Modules (SEM) Requirements according to EASA Part 66 Category B1-1 comprises of 05 courses (37 credits) and B2 comprises of 06 courses (35 credits). There are two under mentioned specialized streams in line with the practices prevalent according to the EASA* regulation. Students have to choose any one Specialized Technology Modules (SEM) as specialization.

(i) Aero-Mechanical Stream (EASA Part 66 B1-1)

(ii) Avionics Stream (EASA Part 66 B2)

A student can select either of the 2 specialist streams. Each stream has nine (9) theoretical subjects and one practical training capsule. The nine (9) theoretical subjects comprise nine (9) compulsory modules. The specialized group comprises according to EASA Part 66 Category B1-1 of 05 courses and B2 of 05 courses and a candidate may choose any one specialization of his interest. Four (4) training capsules, each of Six (6) weeks duration, have been introduced in the specific streams. Two capsules are for familiarization with various workshop training in the respective stream and the other two capsules are for laboratory training in the industry.

Health Requirements

All offers are subject to the student being certified by a medical practitioner as fit to be accepted into the program and not having any of the following medical/physical conditions:

Program Syllabus

Any one (1) of the following-

Workshop Training: The Workshop Training Capsule of 6 weeks as per details in the Syllabus will be arranged by student(s) under their own arrangement at all such facilities with engineering institutions, however, it will be necessary for the student(s) to produce a certificate, signed by qualified BEng/BTech Engineer certifying that the training capsule has been gone through by the student or by the specific ASC of the university. A student may undergo the training after successful completion of GE and BEM courses.

Laboratory Training: Every student will have to go through 6 weeks training in familiarization with different laboratories as per the Syllabus. The training will have to be managed by students themselves at any of aero-institutions or by the specific ASC of the university, under supervision of qualified BEng/BTech qualified engineer and it will be necessary for the student(s) to produce a certificate signed by the certified instructor.

On-Job Training (OJT): As part of the EASA licensing requirement student(s) shall undergo with an On-Job Training for at least six (06) months with our aviation partners.

Exemption: Students having BE/BTech or its equivalent qualification will be entitled to get exemption from appearing in up to six subjects of GE courses, as per their discipline in BEng/BTech course.

(a) The students belonging to Electrical/ Electronics and Allied streams may get exemption of subjects, namely, Applied Mathematics, Basic Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Microprocessors & Software Engineering, Engineering Drawing & Design.

(b) The students belonging to Mechanical, Civil, Chemical and Allied disciplines may get exemption in subjects, namely, Applied Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics Strength of Material, Engineering Thermodynamics, Engineering Drawing & Design.

*EASA Part-66

EASA Part-66 regulates the knowledge requirements for Certifying Staff in EASA Part-145 Approved Maintenance Organizations. EASA Part-66 defines the following categories of Certifying Staff:

A – Maintenance Certifying Mechanic

B1 – Maintenance Certifying Technician – Mechanical

B2 – Maintenance Certifying Technician – Avionics

C – Base Maintenance Certifying Engineer

Please take into account that with all of these licenses, it is not just a matter of attending a course and you get the license; you also need to provide proof that you have completed the required amount of work experience within an EASA Part-145 approved maintenance organization or equivalent.

Experience requirements are available via EASA Part-66 by clicking here.

Approved examinations have a 10-year shelf life, so you can study at your own pace, but please remember that within this time you also need to gain your experience and at least 6 months of the experience must be gained within the last 12 months before you apply for your license.
