Bachelor of Science in Aircraft Maintenance Technology
The Bachelor of Science in Aircraft Maintenance Technology (BSAMT) program at Indiana Aerospace University (IAU) is a comprehensive and rigorous undergraduate degree designed to provide students with the technical expertise and professional skills required in the ever-evolving field of aircraft maintenance. The program is aligned with the standards set by the Philippine Civil Air Regulations (PCAR) and governed by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), ensuring that graduates meet global aviation standards for airworthiness, reliability, and safety.
Academic Program Framework
- Curriculum Structure
The BSAMT program integrates theoretical knowledge with practical skills, offering a curriculum that covers the following core areas:
- Aircraft structures, systems, and components
- Powerplant theory, operation, and maintenance
- Aerodynamics and aviation-related physics
- Avionics systems and electrical applications
- Human factors, safety, and regulatory compliance in aviation maintenance
This well-rounded curriculum fosters a deep understanding of aviation systems and prepares students for professional certification as Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AME) in compliance with PCAR Part 6 standards.
- Emphasis on Practical Application
IAU’s BSAMT program places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning through laboratory-based activities, simulations, and industry-driven scenarios. These opportunities allow students to develop practical competencies in troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance procedures, ensuring they are fully prepared for real-world challenges. Students also benefit from engaging in live aircraft maintenance tasks as part of their practical training.
- Partnership with Aplus Technical Training Center and Ormoc Air
A key feature of the BSAMT program is IAU’s strategic partnership with Aplus Technical Training Center (ATTC), an Approved Training Organization which provides training in various widebodied aircraft such as the Airbus A320. Through this collaboration, students will earn Levels 1-3 Airbus A320 training certificates, an essential credential for those pursuing careers in the maintenance of modern aircraft. Additionally, IAU maintains a strong partnership with Ormoc Air, an affiliated organization that offers extensive on-the-job training (OJT) opportunities. This hands-on experience in a real-world aviation maintenance environment allows students to gain invaluable insights into aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations under the mentorship of licensed professionals.
- Compliance with Philippine Civil Air Regulations
The BSAMT program ensures strict adherence to the Philippine Civil Air Regulations (PCAR) Part 6, which outlines the qualifications, training, and certification standards for aviation maintenance personnel. This compliance prepares students for licensure as Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and ensures they are well-versed in the regulatory standards necessary for professional practice.
Career Pathways
Graduates of the BSAMT program are well-positioned for diverse career opportunities in the aviation and aerospace sectors, including:
- Aircraft Maintenance Technician
- Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer
- Aviation Safety and Quality Assurance Specialist
- Maintenance Planner and Supervisor
The program also provides a solid foundation for those wishing to pursue advanced studies or specialize in areas such as aviation safety, regulatory compliance, or other specialized technical fields.
Through a combination of rigorous academics, extensive practical training, and strong industry partnerships, Indiana Aerospace University’s BSAMT program prepares graduates to excel in the dynamic field of aircraft maintenance technology, contributing to the advancement of both local and global aviation standards.
Good morning!
I would like to ask if you have a program for ASSOCIATE IN AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY?
And if you have it would be how much per semester?
Hoping for your reply soon.
Thank you and God Bless!

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to get some information about this 4 year program (AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY), such as tuition fee and living costs per year for international students.
Thanks for your time.
I am planning to support a new student who is applying to IAU. She lives in Dumaguete. Is your aeronautical engineering degree 100% online. Can the degree be completed remotely?
