  • Maintain aircraft for full operation including making regular inspections, maintenance and servicing.
  • Create aircraft, components, and support equipment.
  • Supervise the assembly of air frames and the installation of engines, instruments, and other equipment.
  • Participate in flight test programs to measure take-off distances, rate of climb, stall speeds, maneuverability, and landing capacities.
  • Resolve issues that arise during the design, development, and testing processes.
  • Modify designs to improve safety features or minimize fuel consumption and pollution.
  • Work with teams, suppliers, clients, and managers to agree on budgets, timescales, and specifications.
  • Communicate technical and regulatory advice to clients, teams, suppliers and other professionals within the aerospace industry and presenting data to groups and individuals.


On-The-Job Training/Internship

During the fourth year of the program, students are required to attend an On the Job Training (OJT) in an aviation or flight company. 


Students are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in an actual work setting. Usually, universities require them to submit a written report on their tasks, learning experiences, and hours rendered. Their work performance will also be evaluated by their immediate managers and will be submitted to their respective OJT coordinator. The number of hours required may differ in each university.


Board Exam

To become a Licensed Aeronautical Engineer in the Philippines, a graduate of BS in Aeronautical Engineering needs to pass the Aeronautical Engineer Board Exam. The examination is conducted by the Board of Aeronautical Engineering under the supervision of the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC). The Aeronautical Engineer Board Exam is a three-day exam held once a year in the month of November. 


Career Opportunities

Graduates of BS in Aeronautical Engineering may pursue a career path in an aviation or flight company. They may apply for roles such as an aircraft interior engineer, aircraft structural engineer, aircraft manufacturing engineer, aircraft maintenance engineer, aircraft system engineer, aircraft design engineer, aircraft mechanic, ground radio operator, or aeronautical engineering professor.

Reviews of BS in Aeronautical Engineering graduates:


list bulletAbout my college education: On my first year in the school I was very anxious and worried because of the new people around me. I get to adjust on the following years of my study and I get along with all the people I have been with. All in all the experience was great and very memorable for me. All the nice people I met and all our shared experiences in making and developing some experimental aircrafts.
The only skill that is important in our profession is determination because there are alot of challenges that could deter your willingness to study the course.

list bulletMy current job: Im currently taking preparations for my flying lessons.

list bulletAm I using what I learned in college: The lessons are both theoretical and practical and we could really use those lessons on our field such as wieght and balance of the aircraft, repair and modifications of the aircaft and strenght and materials of the aircraft. These are all applicable to all other aircrafts so basically your equiped when you graduated from the school.

list bulletDo I recommend studying Aeronautical Engineering: Yes, I would recommend this to those young high school students who are fascinated by aircrafts. The salary is very good and you get to love your job because of the constant travel, different aircarfts and their engines and understand how each of their part works.

Basically if you want to proceed to flying lessons it would just take a month for the basic requirements and if not you could work as a professor or as a aircraft engineer which could take as much as 2 months.
