  1. Developing a programme of Higher Education for Licensed Aircraft EngineersDr. Peter BarringtonFACULTY OF ENGINEERINGKINGSTON UNIVERSITY

  2. Outline • Kingston University • Consortium • Review of Programmes • Experience • Questions

  3. Kingston University Kingston University is the largest higher education institution in South West London, with 20,000students

  4. Faculty of Engineering • 104 Year history (Kingston Technical College) • 58 full time academic staff • 20 Technical staff • 15 Administrative staff • 1000 students in Kingston • Extensive Collaborative Provision (1000 students off site) • National & international reputation for excellence • Multi-level course portfolio

  5. The Consortium • Now comprises: • Kingston University • KLM UK Engineering • City of Bristol College • Newcastle Aviation Academy • Asian Aviation Centre Sri Lanka • British Airways • 350 students currently on course

  6. Aircraft Engineering FD • The result of a consortium bid to run a pilot Foundation Degree in late 2000: • The consortium comprised: • Kingston University • KLM UK Engineering • 53 bids to run Foundation Degree’s were submitted from across UK • The consortium was placed 2nd and awarded £184 000 start-up funding

  7. KLM Uk EngineeringNorwich • 3 FD intakes per year – 2 jointly presented with Kingston University • 1 Introductory Year Zero intake per year

  8. Asian Aviation CentreSri Lanka • 1 FD intake per year • Own Introductory Year Zero course • Students complete top-up at Kingston

  9. Newcastle Aviation AcademyNewcastle Airport • 2 FD intakes per year • Plans to expand the academy

  10. City of Bristol College • 1 FD intake per year • Two Introductory Year intakes per year • EASA147 Approved • Partner in NAA project

  11. British AirwaysHeathrow Airport • 1 FD intake per year started in 2005

  12. Aircraft Engineering Programmes • Year 0 • Foundation Degree • BEng Aircraft Engineering (Top up) • MSc Aircraft Engineering

  13. Foundation Degrees • Are intermediate level higher education qualifications • Integrate academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers, HE and FE • Offer a new route into and through HE. • Intended to reduce the barriers to learning.

  14. Foundation Degrees • Vocational qualifications • Offer recognition of relevant prior learning and experience (APL - APEL) • Distinctive because they require the active involvement of employers & employer bodies in their: • Design • Implementation • Review

  15. Aircraft Engineering • Provides very much more because the FD is: • based on EASA Pt66 syllabus • EASA Pt147 approved under KLM’s and CoBC’s approvals • Gives students the opportunity to • Gain an internationally recognised vocational qualification - Pt66 Licence • Reduces practical experience requirements from 5 to 2 years

  16. How are EASA Part 66 category B and C Licences obtained? Join the industry Study for the EASA Part 66 knowledge examinations Take examinations through the CAA(12-13 examinations) Complete 5 years maintenance experience Apply to the CAA for a category B Licence Complete 3 years as a B Licensed certifying engineer Apply to the CAA for a category C Licence Complete an EASA Approved Training Course Take the EASA Part 66 examinations as part of the course Complete 2 years maintenance experience How do Aircraft Engineering courses fit in with EASA Licensing ? The Foundation Degree 1 year full-time honours course may be completed here Or as a 2 year part-time course at any time after completion of the FD

  17. ROUTES TO EASA Part 66 CATEGORY A, B AND C LICENSES AND AN HONOURS DEGREE IN AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING BEng(Hons)Professional Engineer status Qualified EASAC Licence Holder 3 years maintenance experience including 6 months practical 3 years experience as Category B1/B2 Certifier BEng(Hons) Professional Engineer Status BEng(Hons) Top-up 1yr FT - 2 yrs PT EASA C Licence B1 / B2 Licensed Engineer Qualified EASAB Licence Holder BEng(Hons)and Professional Engineer status Entry Requirements: Min 140 ‘A’ Level points Or equivalent Foundation Degree 2 years FTEASA B Licence 2 years aircraft maintenance experience Introductory Year 0 1 year FT EASA A Licence Min 18 years Qualified EASAA Licence Holder Qualified EASAB Licence Holder 1 years maintenance experience Experience and other or self training
