The engine workshop has been equipped by various types of engines i.e. jet engine, propeller engine and piston engine.
This workshop is offered for Bsc Students in one semester as a unit course with 4 hours per week.
This unit aims to provide learners with the key knowledge required to work in the aerospace engineering sector and will provide opportunities to practice these skills in a safe aircraft workshop. The first part of this class will provide learners with a thorough understanding of the safety issues associated with the care, control and use of the tools and equipment found in a typical aircraft workshop environment.
Familiarity with the aircraft engine hardware associated with the practical activities is also emphasized in this unit. The unit also provides opportunities to put the theoretical aspects of workshop fitting and dismantling/assembly activities into practice. Briefly topics of course’s details contain:
