ADVANCED DIPLOMAS
Advanced Diploma of Engineering (Aeronautical)
Melbourne City
This program provides you with the advanced technical and managerial skills needed for technicians and engineers working in aerospace manufacturing, design and maintenance at a paraprofessional level.
You’ll be equipped to work in small, medium and large enterprises as well as the defence forces.
Aircraft maintenance engineers install, maintain and repair aircraft engines, airframes, airframe systems, electrics, instruments, radio systems and aircraft sheet metalwork.
Specialist areas in this program include:
- aircraft design and layout
- mechanical (fault diagnosis of airframe and engine systems)
- structures (producing, maintaining and repairing sheet metal, bonded and non-metallic composite materials and components on aircraft)
Note: Programs may change as training packages are updated.
RMIT offers a variety of learning and teaching approaches including lectures, seminars, studios, workshops, presentations, group discussions and syndicate work.
