The Bachelor of Engineering Aerospace Systems (BEHAS) is a broad-based multi-disciplinary programme with courses in aerospace engineering, avionics systems and aviation management. The programme is designed to uplift working adults in the aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sector, as well as the applied research and development sector of the aviation industry.

Our partnership with a world renowned aerospace academic institution, Cranfield University together with our local industry partners such as ST Engineering Aerospace and Republic of Singapore Air Force, ensures that our curriculum stays relevant to the industry.

Our approach towards education has always hinged on the philosophy of "learn in class at night, apply at work the next morning". This is only possible because our teaching staff are in touch with the cutting edge of the industry. We collaborate with industry and engage many of their senior management to develop and teach in our courses, exposing the students to the best practices in the industry within the classroom.

Having said that, we do have a number of unique courses embedded in our programmes which essentially provide a level of exposure not commonly found elsewhere. For example:

A Primer on Aerospace and Aviation at Cranfield University
This is a 5-day, full-time course conducted in Cranfield University whereby the students experience flights in the flying classroom as part of their learning experience to study aircraft performance and flight dynamics. The other parts of the programme cover aspects of wind tunnel testing, airport operations, aircraft accident investigation, structural integrity and composite aircraft structures, all taught by renowned academic staff from Cranfield University.

This is a direct honours programme; graduating students who meet the honours eligibility criteria will be awarded the respective honours classification. To graduate, students are required to complete a total of 170 credit unit (cu) of courses, inclusive of 10 cu of SUSS core courses.

The breakdown of the cu to be completed is:

125 cu of Compulsory courses;
25 cu of Elective courses;
10 cu of Compulsory Capstone Project; and
10 cu of SUSS Core courses.

The curriculum is structured in the following areas:

SUSS Core Courses. Three courses form the foundational and common experience in applied humanities and social sciences for all SUSS undergraduates.
Mathematics Courses. The courses equip students with mathematical knowledge and computational skills to solve engineering problems.
Programming Courses. Two courses provide training on structured and object oriented programming.
Aerospace Engineering Courses. This core curriculum is designed to emphasise the disciplines of materials, structures, propulsion, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, control, and manufacturing.
Avionics Systems Courses. This core curriculum consists of a number of electrical and electronic engineering courses and further provides system courses to integrate the knowledge into aircraft system design, operation and maintenance.
Aviation Management Courses. This area covers topics across maintenance, manufacturing, airport and airline management.
Intelligent Systems Courses. The multi-disciplinary curriculum embraces emerging technology courses in robotics and machine learning.
Capstone Aerospace Engineering Project. The course serves to develop comprehensive graduate attributes by solving a complex engineering problem.

Working adults in the avionics/aerospace engineering, aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sector and Singapore Armed Forces personnel who are either A-Level graduates or diploma holders from the local polytechnics.

Close to 90% of our current students are working adults and similarly about 90% of them are diploma holders.

The programme is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB), Institution of Engineers Singapore (IES). Through this accreditation, the BEHAS degree is recognised in Singapore and other countries in the Washington Accord.

In addition, the BEHAS Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) was formed in 2010 to support the quality of the programme. Comprising senior management representatives from aerospace companies/organisations, its main objective is to provide vision and strategic plan for the programme as well as monitor its performance in meeting annual objectives. The PAC also oversees the curriculum and provides recommendations for changes.

Furthermore, all our courses are evaluated by academics from both local and overseas universities to ensure that the stringent academic standards are met.
