Year:   2019/2020    2020/2021    2021/2022    2022/2023    2023/2024    

(1) To learn about aircraft power plant and systems, using English as a working language;
(2) To familiarize oneself with AMM, CMM, IPC, MMEL – by learning to read and understand the maintenance-targeted information contained;
(3) To acquire the relevant terminology to feel comfortable using it in theoretical discussions and maintenance situations in aircraft repair stations in internships and professional career.

By the end of this course, the students should have acquired:
1. knowledge of HBP turbofan engine structure, components, and operation, ability to comprehend and communicate, using the authentic terminology and jargon in English;
2. knowledge of aircraft feeding system structure, components; describe their functioning and operations, using the authentic terminology and jargon;
3. knowledge of engine fuel system, ignition -, lubrication and cooling -, engine air -- and starting systems structures, components; describe their functioning and operations, using the authentic terminology and jargon – with the goal of making oneself fit for professional work environments;
4. skills and confidence to read and understand maintenance data (AMM, CMM, IPC, MMEL, etc.) that will be necessary during internship and professional career.

(1) Students’ ultimate goal in this course is to integrate the study of High Bypass Turbofan Engine and English, used in Aircraft Engineering. They (are encouraged to) use English, both, as a language of working, one to be learned, and in all kinds of classroom communication.

To that end:
(2) With the focus on studying the HBP TF engine & systems (and related terminology), the students also study verbal collocations, used in contemporary professional literature on airframes and power plants – with the objective to expand their lexis and command of English language structures at large;
(3) Via the documentary video(clip)s, the students will be virtually contacting the aircraft engine, structures and some maintenance practices, and also improve their listening skills in English (by getting used to different paces of verbal presentation, and dialects) and, also, learn about turbine engine technology visually and audibly.

(4) Besides the regular, interactive learning format, the students will be preparing for and giving varying format presentations on the themes studied, with an objective of preparing themselves for verbal information exchange that is commonplace in their ensuing work with MRO-s both, during internships and after graduating.
