JAE 2009 APPEAL SYSTEM

Hi all, just to clarify some things with regards to the appeal system for JAE:

1. In order to appeal into AMS via the online MOE system, you would need to have met the 2009 JAE cut-off point of 10. Only then would the course be offered to you as one of your choices for appeals.

If you are really interested and meet the cut-off point but was not posted into AMS, do consider appealing. 

2. If you do not meet the cut-off point, the option to appeal for AMS would not be available for you under the online system. However, if you still feel strongly about the course and would really like to appeal, you might want to write in.

Direct your letter to the Temasek Polytechnic's Registrar's Office

You might want to include in the letter several reasons why they should take you in. This would increase your chances. The admissions division of the registrar's office would look into the matter. Based on merit and seat availability, they will handle the application accordingly. You might be called in for an interview at this phase.

3. You may want to come down to TP to discuss your chances of getting in. This however is only during office hours on working days. Which leaves only Monday & Tuesday. You might want to consider calling up our course manager/emailing him over the weekend. Contact details can be found at the sidebar.

4. This news just in from the lecturers: The diploma would definitely be opening up an additional class to cater to the demand. This would mean additional seats for interested students.

Subject to seat availability, we will do our best to admit students who are appealing. Do understand though that we are only able to offer a certain number of seats after which might put a strain on the resources. 

So while we encourage all interested students to appeal for this course, do carefully consider your other appeal choices. This concerns your future and we hope to see everyone posted to a good course with relevant career prospects. Please make good use of this second chance that you're given. 

All the best for those appealing for AMS.

1st AMS Reception @ Air Force Museum on 7th Jan 2009


Hi everyone.

A day before the Temasek Polytechnic Open House on the 8th, the cohort had a mini gathering at the Officers' Mess at the Air Force Museum. Being 1st time in an Officers' Mess, the gathering was considered to be an eye-opener for everyone. The Reception was organised by the lecturers for the students for the excellent work in the past year and motivation for all in the year to come, especially then-Open House and JAE.

The reception was declared by Mr Paul Yap, Course Manager of AMS and A token of Appreciation was presented to Ex-Course Manager, Mr Chan Kim Kai for his dedication of bringing up AMS from a little course to what we are now.

Another token of appreciation was presented to the 2nd BlackBox Committee for their hardwork during their term of service. The AMS logo and the course tee were also launched during the Reception.

After the reception, the students were treated to a guided tour by the guides at the Air Force Museum which they enjoyed very much.

There are some of the pics from the site ... Enjoy :)









Signing off at Air Force Museum ...
Keep out for more updates!



Till next time :)

Polys home in on boom sectors
Aerospace and clean energy courses rolled out as interest grows
By Amelia Tan

AS THE popularity of traditional engineering courses wanes, Singapore polytechnics are rolling out programmes this year in newly popular fields such as clean energy and aeronautical engineering.

Polytechnic lecturers said interest in these disciplines is booming, in part because of the glamour of the jobs but largely because the clean energy and aerospace industries are flowering amid a bonanza of investment.

About 10,000 jobs will be created when the $60 million Seletar Aerospace Park is completed in 2018.

With heavy government investments, the clean energy industry is expected to bring Singapore $1.7 billion a year in gross domestic product and create 7,000 jobs by 2015.

'Students can find jobs at the many international companies which will be based here. They have opportunities to work with world-class technology and also travel overseas,' said Mr Ho Hooi Min, senior director of Nanyang Polytechnic's (NYP) school of engineering.

The courses are drawing some of the top engineering students at the expense of programmes like electrical and mechanical engineering.

Applications to those courses have been falling in Singapore and around the world since the 1980s, said Dr Dave Chong, director of Singapore Polytechnic's school of electrical and electronics engineering.

The change represents a fundamental shift in the attitudes of students, said Mr Wong Cho Loo, who manages Temasek Polytechnic's microelectronics and clean energy courses.

'Traditional engineering jobs are less glamorous than those in the clean energy sector, which is talked about so much now, and aerospace engineering because it deals with flying.'

With all five polytechnics offering courses in clean energy and aerospace engineering, each one is hoping to attract the best students by creating niche programmes.

Students enrolled in NYP's diploma in aeronautical and aerospace technology will be able to intern at engine-maker Rolls-Royce's future plant in Singapore and factories in Germany and Britain.

Republic Polytechnic is also in talks with companies to provide internships for students enrolled in the diploma in aerospace engineering quality systems.

Temasek Polytechnic houses the only clean energy centre located in an education institution. There, students can work with companies on renewable energy technologies such as fuel cells, hydropower and biofuels.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic clean energy management diploma students will spend a semester in Germany, where they will work with other international students to design and build a solar car.

Their counterparts at Singapore Polytechnic can pursue a renewable energy engineering degree programme in Australia.

These opportunities are catching the eye of future students.

Muhammad Noor Iman Abdul Salam, a Secondary 3 student, attended a three-hour workshop in aerospace technology at NYP in October last year.

He said: 'I want to study aerospace engineering at NYP. It is exciting to be able to work with planes and I think I will be able to earn a good salary. I will study hard to make sure I can get in.'

TIME-CHECK: 1600 hours

Hi everyone!

It is now officially past 4pm on Friday, 16 January 2009. Joint-Admissions Exercise 2009 is officially over. To those who've applied for AMS, we hope you get in! 

&Here's a video from our Course Manager and his take on the 'We are AMS' series. 



All the best for those participating in JAE! Hope you get into the courses of your choice!

AMS BlackBox

LAST DAY OF JAE 2009!
Hi everyone!

Just a reminder, Joint-Admissions Exercise ends today at exactly 4pm! If you have yet to register, go on and submit your application NOW! This is to avoid overloading the server due to last minute registrations!

ONLY SEVEN HOURS LEFT TILL JAE IS OVER!

So here are seven reasons summarising why your first choice should be the Diploma in Aviation Management & Services, T04!

---------


1. A Team of Dedicated Lecturers - Where would we be without all the dedication and commitment of our lecturers? Often going out of the way just to assist us, much of the success of the diploma has to be credited to them!

Never faltering, the dedication of our very own AMS lecturers has been the motivation for all AMS students to continue our pursuit for the best!

2. Advanced Standing at Top Aeronautical University - Attaining a degree from a top-notch university highly-recognised in the aviation industry, being taught by professionals from overseas from the comfort of Singapore's shores, receiving exemptions from 2 years of their degree programme.

What could be better than that?

The through-train programme we're working towards in partnership with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is truly a one-of-a-kind experience not to be missed!

3. Exciting Internships - Airport operations, cabin crew, regulatory bodies, airlines and ground handling companies - the list of internship possibilities seems never ending! There's nothing more satisfying than being in an internship where you get to put the skills and knowledge you've been acquiring all this time to good use.

&Internships with AMS ensures that very gratification!

4. Vast range of Career Prospects - Your part in the aviation industry does not end the moment your 3-year stint with AMS is over. AMS is where aviation lovers start their journey. With the anticipated growth of the aviation and tourism industry coupled with good qualifications and the long list of career opportunities, AMS graduates have absolutely no need to worry!

5. Hands-on Experiences - Often having to meet industry experts, the valuable experiences they share would be of great use to you! &As much as possible, we try to have hands-on experiences to prepare AMS students for the working world.

6. Work Hard, Play Harder - Despite all the projects, meetings, assignments and presentations, AMS students and lecturers make it a point to enjoy their lives. With all the events and outings, there has never been a dull moment in AMS!


7. Friendly Seniors - From orientation to camps, meetings to outings, these are the people that would be by your side helping you cope with the changes in your school life. The very same ones teaching you the ropes on scoring well in AMS, the ones giving you hints on which canteen serves the best food.

And while they've been missing from the tagboard for quite a while, I'm sure many of the other Year 1s can agree with me that our AMS seniors are the best! And we happen to be thick-skinned enough to admit that we'll be YOUR favourite seniors too! (:

-------------

Think you have what it takes to soar in the skies? So what're you waiting for? JAE Application ends at 4pm. Consider AMS as your first choice!

Add FLair to your life!

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME - More than just a diploma. 

Interested in Temasek Polytechnic's Diploma in Aviation Management and Services yet also wish to try your hand in Psychology? Unable to decide between two different courses offered in Temasek Poly?

We've the perfect solution for you!

In 2008, TP launched it's Certificate Program to provide greater recognition to TP students. This would enable the more capable students to graduate with more than 1 set of qualification during their 3-year stint.

Freshmen who have performed at the top 10% of each diploma course will receive an email at the end of Semester 1.1, inviting them to apply for the Certificate Programme. If you decide to take up the invitation, you would have to indicate your preferences out of the eight clusters offered:

  1. Certificate in Business Fundamentals
  2. Certificate in Cross-Cultural Studies
  3. Certificate in Design Fundamentals
  4. Certificate in Digital Literacies
  5. Certificate in Language & Culture (French & Japanese)
  6. Certificate in Life Sciences Fundamentals
  7. Certificate in Management & Enterprise
  8. Certificate in Psychology Fundamentals
Of the five preferred clusters that you indicate, one will be allocated to you based on the time stamp (first come first served), ranking of choices and availability of cluster places.Please note that in order to be in the program, you have to make a selection during the selection period.

In other words...

You can join our course, Aviation Management and Services, and still pursue your other interests in Psychology/Design/Language. Better yet, you can even attain an additional certificate!

--------

How about those who do not qualify for the Certificate Programme?

Not to worry, students can still apply for the courses that are offered under their Cross-Disciplnary Subjects. These CDS-es are also recognised in your qualifications when you graduate from TP.

For the exact list of subjects offered under both CDS & Certificate Programme, do take a look at the few links here:

FLYING IN THE SKIES - no longer just a dream.

To those interested in flying, here are some good news for you! AMS students do indeed get the opportunities to experience both real and simulated flights! 


Flight Experience Singapore

Experience the full joy of flying. Start with a flight around your local airport, including take-off and landing. Fly circuits to sharpen your skills or navigate your way to a nearby regional airport. Early last year, all the Year 1s got the chance to sit in the cockpit of a jet aircraft simulator. We got to apply concepts like theories of flights and make use of all the navigational aids, just like a real pilot!

Sounds cool? There's more!


Light Aircraft Flight Experience

Under the module Principles of Aeronautical Science, our students were given a rare opportunity to experience real-life flying in a light aircraft at Nusajaya Flight Park at Johor Bahru. Sitting in the captain's seat, we got the chance to control the aircraft for a huge part of the flight.

Through all these, students could apply classroom concepts into the real world of flying. We were able to relate the concepts into something real, which makes it much easier when studying for the module's tests & exams!

SETTING YOUR SIGHTS BEYOND


So what happens after AMS?


For those who want to pursue a degree, there's absolutely no need to worry! Students may further their studies in aviation management at renowned aviation universities in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and USA. For those interested in opportunities a little closer to home, we have good news for you!


AMS STUDENTS HAVE ADVANCED STANDING WITH THE WORLD'S NO 1 AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY.


Temasek Polytechnic signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in February 2008 to offer degree programmes in the aviation field with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), the world's largest and most established university specialising in aviation and aerospace training.



Upcoming partnership between Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Temasek Polytechnic will give AMS students up to 2 years of advanced standing in ERAU's B.Sc Aviation Business Administration degree programme.

The Aviation Business Administration programme is designed to prepare students for key staff, operational, and executive positions within various segments of civilian and military aviation or the business community.


AMS students will be able to apply for direct entry to the 3rd year of this four year degree programme!

The degree programmes, to be conducted at Temasek Polytechnic Campus, will be jointly taught by instructors from Temasek Engineering School and ERAU.


This means...

3 years AMS + 2 years ERAU = 1 Degree obtained!


Even faster than the usual JC routes! &MORE GOOD NEWS!

AMS is working towards getting the Singapore Government's Foreign Speciliased Institute (FSI) programme for this degree programme. Under the FSI programme, Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents will pay tution fees at local universities rates.


In other words, Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents will pay subsided and affordable tution fees for the course of this degree programme!

Here are some useful links for you:

Unparelled views of the world come rarely.

AMS has truly given me the chance to see things from an aviator's viewpoint; a true master of the sky. From the cockpit to the control tower, AMS shows u everything there is to see about the aviation world. Highly recommended to anyone with even a slight interest in the air above the world..

Come see us at the open house!



Thoughts: Iskandar, Year 2, AMS.

“What is your passion?” For me, my passion lies in aviation and AMS gave me the perfect platform to explore this passion. From the video, I’m sure you can tell that I love the thought of being able to fly (in a plane, of course!). This course also gives us the opportunity to learn on the different components that makes commercial flights possible.
Learning is made much more enjoyable with our great bunch of lecturers. They are simply the best! Honestly speaking, I cannot imagine myself studying elsewhere with a better diploma programme, taught by a better team of lecturers, in a better environment. This is where I wanna be and I am glad I had chosen this path.
AMS as your first choice? You betcha!
Don't forget to come down tmrw!

HELLO 2009!

Hi everyone. Happy New Year! May 2009 be a wonderful year for you. &Here are some videos for you. Enjoy the new year! 



Thoughts: Mr Cyrano, Lecturer, AMS
"Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first! 

Well, I never really understood that before I learned to fly. And yes, I do miss my flying days. And landings in faraway places. The challenge and achievement of landing an aircraft is one that balances innumerable factors. You just have to be in the seat to really understand what it's like! In fact, it's pretty much like bringing a class through in AMS. It's partly a flight experience, a very positive one.

And I realised nothing is more enriching for me, than having the opportunity to share those experiences and feelings with my students. I am truly blessed - for the opportunities that I've had. And for all the experiences to come at AMS.

Come and experience it all, here at AMS."


Thoughts: Pravin Khemlani, Year 1, AMS
"I’ve always wanted to be part of the aviation industry ever since I was a young boy. 

I used to really enjoy watching planes near the airport and when I realised that Temasek Polytechnic had set up a diploma in Aviation Management and Services, I knew that this was the place for me!

Aviation Management and Services by far has provided me with in-depth knowledge in aviation and I’m confident that this course will provide me with more knowledge and keep me occupied with more fun-filled activities in the coming years."
Stay tuned everybody. More videos to be up soon. 
Once again, Happy New Year!
