Singapore Polytechnic

• Individuals can pursue diplomas in aeronautical engineering at Singapore Polytechnic's School of Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering, which was introduced in 2002. The three-year course, nicknamed "DARE," grounds students in the principles of engineering before they are immersed in the details of aeronautics in the program's last two years. Graduates have moved on to jobs in the Singapore Air Force and at engineering companies. Some students take their studies further, applying to international universities such as those in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada.
