The Indira Institute of Aircraft Engineering (IIAE) offers specialized programs in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME), approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), India. The curriculum is designed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on skills required for maintaining and repairing aircraft, ensuring safety and efficiency in the aviation industry.
- Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Mechanical Stream): This program covers the maintenance, inspection, and repair of aircraft airframes, engines, and mechanical systems. Students learn about turbine engines, piston engines, propellers, and hydraulic systems. Practical training includes disassembly, testing, and reassembly of components, preparing graduates for roles as licensed AME technicians in airlines and MRO organizations.
- Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics Stream): Focused on electrical and electronic systems, this course delves into avionics instruments, navigation systems, communication equipment, and aircraft electrical wiring. Training involves troubleshooting radar, autopilot, and flight control systems, with emphasis on digital electronics and microprocessor applications in modern aircraft.
- B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering: An undergraduate degree program that provides a broader engineering foundation, including aerodynamics, aircraft structures, propulsion systems, and flight mechanics. It integrates theoretical coursework with laboratory sessions and industry projects, aiming to develop engineers for design, manufacturing, and research in aerospace.
- Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering: A shorter certification course for foundational skills in basic aircraft maintenance, covering safety protocols, tools usage, and introductory inspections. Ideal for entry-level positions or further specialization.
- Advanced Modules in Aviation Safety and Quality Management: These include specialized training on aviation regulations, human factors in maintenance, and quality assurance systems like AS9100. Students engage in case studies of real-world incidents to enhance risk assessment and compliance skills.
IIAE's programs emphasize practical exposure through tie-ups with leading aviation companies, simulators, and workshops equipped with actual aircraft parts. The institute fosters a blend of theoretical rigor and industry-relevant training, with faculty comprising experienced AME professionals. Graduates are prepared for global opportunities in commercial aviation, defense, and private jet sectors. The campus facilities support over 500 students annually, with a focus on emerging technologies like drones and sustainable aviation fuels. Career support includes placement assistance, with alumni placed in Air India, IndiGo, and Boeing. This holistic approach ensures IIAE remains a premier destination for aviation education in India, contributing to the nation's growing aerospace ecosystem.
