STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA
Objectives of Accredited Program
1.1 Program Mission
The Maintenance of Aviation Equipment Program aims to cultivate high-quality applied professionals with humanistic literacy and a sense of social responsibility. Graduates will be able to uphold the spirit of valuing labor and selfless dedication in the practice of aircraft manufacturing and maintenance, understand and adhere to professional ethics and standards in aviation manufacturing and maintenance, and foster an aspiration of "serving the nation through aviation." They will possess a solid foundation in natural sciences and theoretical knowledge, as well as expertise in aerodynamics, aircraft engine principles, aircraft structure, aircraft manufacturing technology, assembly processes, digital manufacturing, aviation maintenance, and related fields. Additionally, they will develop integrated thinking, engineering reasoning, problem-solving, and organizational management skills. Graduates will be capable of engaging in aircraft manufacturing, repair, maintenance, and related tasks in aviation manufacturing and maintenance enterprises.
1.2 Graduates of this program, approximately five years after graduation, are expected to possess the following qualities:
(I) Possess strong humanistic literacy and a profound sense of social responsibility; be able to uphold a spirit of diligence and selfless dedication in the practice of aircraft manufacturing and maintenance; understand and adhere to aviation-related professional ethics and standards; and foster an aspiration of "serving the nation through aviation."
(II) Broad international perspective, strong teamwork skills, decisive problem-solving abilities, effective communication skills, and an awareness of lifelong learning and sustainable development, allowing them to adapt to the evolution and changes in the aviation manufacturing industry.
(III) Proficiency in applying professional theoretical knowledgeto carry out aircraft manufacturing and maintenance tasks.
(IV) The ability to integrate theoretical knowledge, professional skills, and modern technical toolsto analyze and solve complex engineering problems in aircraft manufacturing and maintenance.

2.Program Assessment Measures
A comprehensive assessment plan is implemented to enable continuous improvement in student learning outcomes, curriculum mapping, etc. Assessment activities include:
（1）Course evaluation (exam or report, Graduation Project(Thesis))
（2）Graduating student surveys
（3）Teaching monitoring and evaluation
（4）Alumni survey
（5）Program self-assessment
（6）Education Plan
3.Graduation rates
To meet the needs of students' major learning and career development planning, SUES provides sophomore students with the opportunity to transfer to a new major. Every year, there will be some students transfer from other majors to Maintenance of Aviation Equipment. For the major transferred students, they have to spend more time to get all credits. So, we calculated the four years and six years graduation rate of senior students. The following table shows the graduation rates in the past five years.
Initial Grade | Total | Actual number of graduates | 4th Year Grad | 6th Year Grad |
2018 | 80 | 76 | 90.3% | 95% |
2019 | 100 | 98 | 89.5% | 98% |
2020 | 184 | 171 | 92.9% | 98% |
2021 | 206 | 180 | 87.4% | |
2022 | 180 | 171 | 95% |
