Diploma in Aerospace Electronics (DASE) JAE Code: S90

Overview

• The first Diploma in Aerospace Electronics (DASE) Course to be offered in a Polytechnic
• Aligned to the Singapore Airworthiness Requirements (SAR-66), specified by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore for licensing of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers
• Graduates are granted advanced standing and ready for further studies in both local and overseas universities
• Graduates aspiring to become Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers will be able to shorten their training period significantly in the Aerospace Industry

Aerospace Electronics – The “Brains” of Modern Commercial and Fighter Jets

Computer and Electronic Systems are “Brains” of modern flying machines such as A380, Boeing 787, F15 and F16. Understanding the operation and working principles of these “Brains” are covered via theory and hands-on practical lessons. Train students to be Aerospace Electronic Systems Engineers as well as Aircraft Systems Maintenance Engineers Provide a clear advantage to students who aspire to become pilots

 2-year “Aerospace Systems” and “Aeronautical Engineering” (Honours) Degree Courses by

    &     

• Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and University of Glasgow (UOG) have teamed up with Singapore Polytechnic
• The University of Glasgow will conduct the “Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Aerospace Systems” and “Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Aeronautical Engineering” in Singapore Polytechnic Campus.
• The UOG has accredited the DASE course for its graduates to complete any one of their 2 Honours Degree Courses in the shortest period of 2 years..
  

Prestigious Scholarships

• Prestigious scholarships are offered to Graduates of the course
• The Republic of Singapore Air Force officers, twin sisters, Ashleyna (Left) and Angeline Foo (Right) are awarded the “SAF Academic Scholarship” for a four-year direct “Integrated Master Degree of Engineering in Avionics” in University of York, UK.

How has the DASE course benefited you in pursuing for a Private Pilot Licence?

An eye-opener because I have always wanted to learn how to fly a plane. Built a strong foundation in me in the understanding of the operations of aircraft electronics and instrument systems. When I am flying with the Singapore Youth Flying Club, this knowledge helps me to understand my aircraft inside out especially in the troubleshooting of instruments and performing emergency procedures. Every lesson taught in the DASE modules was like a confident flight - Kitson Wang, DASE graduate 2011, Private Licensed Pilot.

How do DASE students perform in the “Airline Pilot Theory” course?

• DASE students, in general, shown a substantive comprehension of the subject matters especially in the topic of “Instruments”
• Many of these students were able to cope with the rigorous demands of practical basic aircraft handling as they have the desired psycho-motor skills – Captain Chew Ah Leng, Commercial Aircraft Pilot Trainer.
