Diploma In Aerospace Engineering
(Quality Systems)
Graduation Criteria
In order to
graduate with a Diploma in Aerospace Engineering
(Quality Systems), DAE, you must satisfy the modular
criteria set by the School of Engineering. Most
students should be able to do this within 3 years of
enrolment if they are deemed to have successfully
completed 5 modules, or its equivalent, per semester
.
How
the Modular Structure Works
Modules at the Republic Polytechnic fall into three
broad categories: as can be seen from Table 1 above,
these consist of Core modules, Elective modules, and
Freely Chosen modules. To satisfy the requirements
of the Diploma, you must select a certain number of
modules out of the range offered in each category.
These have been stated in Table 1 above as well as
in the following table:

Core
Modules
There are three types of Core modules: General,
Discipline-specific and Specialisation-specific
modules. General modules aim to ground you in
generic skills such as those in cognitive processes,
linguistic and communication, cultural,
entrepreneurial, and personal development.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing
your technical knowledge of Aviation.
Specialization-specific modules are designed to
deepen your understanding of the area of quality
engineering, reliability engineering and aircraft
engines.
Elective Modules
Apart from the Core modules, you also need to take
two elective modules. Elective modules are designed
to broaden your understanding of Aerospace
Engineering (Quality Systems)
and serve to complement knowledge acquired in other
parts of the programme.
Freely
Chosen Modules
Lastly, two of the thirty
modules you will take in total can be freely chosen
from the entire range of modules offered at the
Republic.
