Diploma in Aerospace Engineering
(Quality Systems) (R40)
Graduation Criteria
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 complete on average five
modules equivalent of 20 modular credits (MC), or
its equivalent, per semester.
How
the Modular Structure Works
Modules at the Republic Polytechnic fall into a few
broad categories, as can be seen from the course
structure. They consist of general modules,
discipline modules, specialisation modules, elective modules and
freely chosen modules. To satisfy the requirements of the Diploma programme, you must choose a specified number of modules from selected categories. These are summarised in the following table:

Modules
There are General, Discipline-specific and Specialisation-specific modules. General modules aim to help you prepare the ground for generic skills such as cognitive, linguistic and communication, cultural, entrepreneurial skills, as well as personal development.
Discipline-specific modules focus on developing your technical knowledge of Aviation. Specialisation-specific modules are designed to deepen your understanding of the area of quality engineering, reliability engineering and aircraft engines.
Elective Module
You also need to take one elective module (4 MC). Elective modules are designed to broaden your understanding of Aerospace Engineering (Quality Systems) and serve to complement your knowledge acquired from other parts of the programme.
Freely Chosen Module
Lastly, one (4 MC) of the thirty modules can be freely chosen from
a list of modules offered at the Republic Polytechnic.
