Avionics Program

Welcome to the Department of Aircraft Maintenance at the Faculty of Aviation Sciences at Amman Arab University!

The Aircraft Maintenance Department was established in the academic year 2017/2018, the department offers two BSc programs, the aircraft maintenance BSc program (B1), and the Avionics BSc program (B2), each consists of 137 academic credit hours, and both are local accredited by the Jordanian Higher Education Authorities. In addition, the Aircraft Maintenance Department offers qualified professors from the most prestigious universities in the world.

The teaching and administrative staff in the department continuously review and update the curricula and the teaching methods in accordance with the highest quality control standards. The department seeks to communicate continuously with the concerned companies and institutions in order to accomplish projects and applied research. Beside that the curricula is designed in a way that aims  to raise the professional and technical competence of students and gain knowledge in the field of specialization, which qualifies the student to work in the relevant companies after graduation easily.

The curricula has been built to provide community with qualified specialists, competent enough to keep abreast with the latest development in aviation sciences combining theory and practice. Students who graduates from the aircraft maintenance will demonstrate understanding of basic science involved in aircraft maintenance activities, theory of operation of aircraft engines and systems. Student will gain the ability to understand written maintenance report and write the appropriate paper work needed by regulatory bodies for aircraft maintenance, also students will get knowledge of regulatory and legal issues impact aircraft maintenance beside the ability to test, inspect, maintain, repair and troubleshoot faults in aircraft systems and engines. Graduates of the department should be able to apply their knowledge in a practical manner using detailed procedures and manufacturer’s instructions.

The Department is keen to participate in conferences and related workshops, which necessarily lead to the transfer of the latest developments in aviation science and reflected on the study plans and continuously. The Department attracts a growing number of students from inside and outside Jordan. The Department of Aircraft Maintenance also prepares students to obtain international licenses in the field of aircraft maintenance such as EASA, European Aviation Safety Agency and JCARC, the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission.

In light of the efforts of the administration of Amman Arab University to obtain international accreditations and licenses for all its specializations, the College of Aviation Sciences has recently obtained the accreditation and licensing of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as a training body and a center for conducting EASA exams, this achievement was for both the aircraft maintenance program (B1), the avionics program (B2), and as (Part-147). After achieving all accreditation requirements for aircraft maintenance and avionics sciences.

Recently, the College of Aviation Sciences at Amman Arab University has obtained the membership of the AABI: Aviation Accreditation Board International, as the first in the Arab world and the sixth in the world, the college was accredited as a training institute – educator member of the Council in the field of aviation sciences in the aircraft maintenance bachelor’s program offered by the college since 2018. This achievement was obtained after the college met the expectations of a wide range of quality standards related to the strategic management of resources, the interactions of faculty members and students in the educational process, and the achievement of learning goals to obtain an internationally accredited degree
