The Department of Aircraft Maintenance at Shilla University, following its designation as a ‘Specialized Educational Institution for Aircraft Maintenance Technician Courses’ by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2019, has now been recognized nationwide as a specialized institution in the aviation field with this new designation for avionics, electrical, and instrumentation courses this year.

To obtain this approval, the Department of Aircraft Maintenance planned for the past two years and established an internationalized curriculum that meets the educational standards of both the domestic Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), keeping pace with the rapidly evolving aircraft system developments.

Additionally, new theoretical and practical textbooks, facilities, electronic equipment, tools, and electronic components were established, and professors with extensive experience in the avionics field who can teach in English were recruited.

Going forward, students in the Department of Aircraft Maintenance will complete a three-year airplane course at the Shilla University Aviation Technology Institute and then enter the avionics, electrical, and instrumentation course for one year starting from their senior year to receive specialized education.

Kim Young-in, head of the Department of Aircraft Maintenance at Shilla University, said, “We have been striving to attract international students through aviation specialization and to cultivate avionics specialists needed by airlines and aviation companies.”

He added, “Based on this achievement, we plan to develop a UAM (Urban Air Mobility) maintenance curriculum to further enhance students’ expertise.”

The Department of Aircraft Maintenance at Shilla University operates the Aviation Technology Institute, which was designated as a specialized educational institution for aircraft maintenance technician courses by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Upon admission, students enter as trainees of the specialized educational institution and strengthen their capabilities through a differentiated curriculum aimed at obtaining aircraft maintenance technician certification, as well as English and character education.
