Professional Training for Aircraft Maintenance
History
With
the blooming of the aviation industry throughout the world, and
especially in Asia, Aircraft Maintenance Department and Avionics
Department were founded in 1990 by Mr. Chao-chin Wei, President of Shin-shing
Technical and Commercial High School. Mr. Wei foresaw continued growth
with economic impact and job generation in this field, as well as the
exciting employment opportunities for Aviation Maintenance Technicians
(AMT).

Program Philosophy
The
students receive a solid foundation of aircraft maintenance and of
avionics to fully develop professional skills. The curriculum is a
systematic approach which specifies the entire understanding, skills and
attitude for Aviation Maintenance Technician. Overall, the curriculum
is designed to prepare students with skills and knowledge for entry
level employment concerned with aviation maintenance occupations.
The baseline of subjects was approved by the Ministry
of Education of Republic of Taiwan. FAA aviation maintenance training
material is adopted as one of the curriculum. It prepares the students
to acquire the fundamental knowledge about aviation maintenance. The
objective is to train students as an Aviation Maintenance Technician
with the ability to inspect, maintain, and repair aircraft, as well as
to pass the required tests.
