Erm guys, i am here to ask a few questions regarding this Aircraft Maintenance Engineering course. I just finished my SPM and is currently awaiting result, and i'm quite interested in this course offered by Nilai University College.

Nilai stated that course was newly released and we're the pioneer batch. From there, we can obtain our diploma + our EASA license under a 2 years program + 6 months of trainee program. I would like to know the other alternate routes of taking up this course at different college/unis. Any1 mind to enlighten me?

Btw, is this course more like a mechanic in aircraft? I mean i love aircraft and stuffs like that but i'm not so much into the engine part. Of course that is one thing that we have to study so is it still advisable for me to go? I love physics related concept and aircraft, but on the other hand i am afraid that i do not have too much interest in the mechanical part. However, that's what i think only, i believe i can still cope with it if i want to. So can anyone enlighten me by giving a more detailed idea about what is the modules of the course? thanks

Then u should go for American Course, Aeronautical Engr.
<Witchita State University<-- Cheapest Uni in US.>
<Embry Riddle University>- Number 1 Aircraft School in US- Double the tuition fees of Witchita.>

This type of Engr will be like sitting in office kind-Designing Aircraft. Wont be easy to find a job in msia tho.. And I blindly took this course... Did not realize that i took the wrong course for 2 yrs in taylor's       

Nilai wont be a good choice also, since this January2008 is their first time intake for Aircraft Maintenance Engr, MAS or AirAsia MIGHT not recognize your Diploma Certificate thus a waste of 2.5 year in Nilai.

**Note:Study 2.5year in Malaysia only get a Diploma.

And if you want a degree in the Maintanance, 3 yrs Transfer to oversea school for Degree in maintenance.

UK would be a good choice for Aircraft maintenance University , University of Glamorgan is on of it. <-- i am going there this sept..  All you need? A'level or Equivalent Cert, AmericanDegreeProgram also can like me..

***Malaysia have a high demand for Aircraft Maintenance Graduate so is Australia and China.***
So, choose wisely.   

Cheers..

anyone noe that diploma aircraft maintenance engineering can go for degree in other field engineering such as mechanical engineering ? urgent !! reply ASAP pls!!
