The minor Aerospace Engineering & Maintenance provides you with a broad introduction to the various disciplines in aerospace engineering and maintenance.
You will learn that maintenance plays a major part throughout the entire lifecycle of an aircraft as opposed to simply replacing components or troubleshooting. Before putting pen to the drawing board, engineers must answer a myriad of questions concerning the accessibility of areas and components for inspection, testing, adjustments, replacement or removal. These questions are mainly answered during the design and engineering phase of airplane development. That is why engineering and maintenance are so closely linked.
Aerospace engineering focuses on designing and building machines that fly. It is one of the newest branches of engineering, and began in the 19th century with the first experiments in powered flight. As technology progressed, 2 specialties emerged; aeronautical engineering, which involves designing aircraft such as powered lighter-than-air craft, gliders, fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters; and astronautical engineering, which focuses on the design and development of spacecraft.
Aerospace maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft component. Maintenance may include such tasks as ensuring compliance with Airworthiness Directives or Service Bulletins. The maintenance of aircraft is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning during flight. National regulations are coordinated under international standards, maintained by bodies such as the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The maintenance tasks, personnel and inspections are all tightly regulated and staff must be licensed to perform the tasks they carry out.

The AE&M minor provides students with a broad introduction to the various disciplines in aerospace engineering and maintenance. This includes courses in aerospace engineering, aerospace maintenance, aerospace industry, aerospace multi-disciplinary projects, aerospace industry excursions, UAV operation, human factors & safety, composites, aerodynamics, space engineering, maintenance engineering, flight mechanics & propulsion, and safety management systems in aerospace.
You will team up with industry professionals to work on multidisciplinary projects in the fields of engineering and/or maintenance. Group projects will allow you to go in depth and to solve interesting new cases, usually from industry.
You will also receive smaller assignments related to regular company excursions. These assignments are combined with training in topics such as aviation legislation and human factors. Practical assignments like composite repair and basic aerodynamic simulation are also included in the curriculum.
Moreover, guest lecturers will discuss current topics related to aviation such as:

Today, the world’s aerospace industry is growing very rapidly and is considered one of the major driving forces behind technology development. In most industrialised countries it is also a cooperation of public and private industries with an international character and English as the default language.
The Netherlands (and the European Union) has a great need for technically trained people in the aviation industry and the aim of the minor Aerospace Engineering & Maintenance is to introduce students to this industry and its main engineering elements.
You can participate in an exchange programme at Avans University of Applied Sciences if your home institution has concluded an agreement with Avans. Under this agreement you can be nominated to study with us.
Please read the details on the or contact your home institution's exchange coordinator for details. Alternatively, you can .
The programme is open for Dutch students as well as international students within the Erasmus Exchange Program. The requirements for enrolment are:
As an exchange student, you will continue to pay tuition fees to your home institution. This means you do not have to pay tuition fees to Avans.
If your university is not a partner of Avans University of Applied Sciences, you can join us as a full-fee paying student. For more details, please contact the Avans International Office on +31 88 - 525 80 01 or at internationaloffice@avans.nl.
