Maritime Case Summit

Four students from the Diploma in Aviation Management achieved a Merit award at the Maritime Case Summit Competition 2022, with their environment-friendly proposal of using sodium bicarbonate to remove sulphur dioxide from a ship’s exhaust, and then perovskite crystals to convert the carbon dioxide into renewable methanol via a process known as hydrogenation – thereby helping shipping companies to reduce its carbon footprint.

A Force in the Air

Not many guys get to fly an aircraft, let alone to pilot an RSAF jet.  But Tessar Goh deserves the bragging rights.  The Diploma in Aviation Management graduate (2016) got her Private Pilot Licence (PPL) as part of her diploma’s flying programme, propelling her on the journey towards becoming an RSAF pilot.

“My diploma course gave me the basic knowledge about flying, and helped to chart my flight path to where I am today,” said the passionate pilot, who now flies a C130 Hercules.
