[QUOTE="rajitha_ks, post: 19045062, member: 162025"] There are two ways to become an aircraft engineer. either you should join sri lankan airlines training school and do a basic apprentice course and join srilankan ground staff as a technician and study further to become an engineer. joining srilankan is not an easy task at all so most students just drop out without any job. the second option is to do an engineering degree specializing in airframes and power trains, which you CANNOT do in sri lanka. our universities do not have aviation degrees. you have to go abroad preferably russia or uk to get your degree. then is the difficult part you have to join a commercial airline as Trainee and obtain what's called "an aircraft type rating". see just because you have an engineering degree doesnt mean you can work as an engineer.. you have to study a particular aircraft in detail and become an expert for that aircraft.. the problem is you CANNOT join as a trainee to a foreign airline. they only recruit trained Rated engineers with type ratings to aircraft they operate. your only option is to again join srilankan airlines or mihin lanka as trainee engineers and earn a320, 1a330, a340 type rating. once you get a type rating you can go anywhere but joining an airline as a trainee is very very difficult. i have many friends with aircraft engineering degrees but without jobs, or working at jobs totally not related to engineering [/QUOTE]
