Top Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering Universities and Colleges in Malaysia

Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering behind the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft. It is broken into two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. The former deals with craft that stay within Earth’s atmosphere, and the latter deals with craft that operate outside of Earth’s atmosphere. While aeronautical engineering was the original term, the broader “aerospace” has superseded it in usage, as flight technology advanced to include craft operating in outer space. Aerospace engineering, particularly the astronautics branch, is often informally called rocket science. Note: Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering is not similar to aircraft maintainance engineering. Below is a list of universities where you can study aerospace/aeronautical engineering in Malaysia.

1. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) : Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

The Aeronautical Engineering course was first offered by UTM during the 1980/81 session and was jointly run by UTM and TUDM. Its objective was to fulfill the need for skilled and semi-skilled human resources in the aeronautical field especially in the public sector. TUDM required human resources to operate, maintain, repair, oversee and manage different types of aircraft and UTM had the capability to produce graduates in this field. This need has continued to increase with the development in the airline industry in Malaysia which demands for more trained manpower especially engineers and technical assistants.

2. Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology (UniKL MIAT)

Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology (UniKL MIAT) is the premier aviation training institution in Malaysia. The institute has won various awards and recognition both internationally and locally. In 2008, UniKL MIAT became the first Maintenance Training Organization (MTO) to be recognized by the Department of Civil Aviation and later by Frost and Sullivan as the Asia Pacific Aviation Workforce Development 2008. Collaboration effort with Aero-Building Gmbh Department of Civil Aviation of Germany, UniKL MIAT is also qualified to offer European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License training programme.
