Abstract: “Aeronautical Maintenance Engineering” is one of the core courses of the aviation maintenance major. From the development of aviation maintenance, the great achievements of the aviation industry, the “craftsmanship spirit” in aviation maintenance, and typical cases in engineering, a large number of ideological and political educational elements of the course is excavated. Incorporating the elements into the knowledge points of Aeronautical Maintenance Engineering including maintenance reliability, safety, maintainability, maintenance requirements, maintenance activities, maintenance task analysis, maintenance cost analysis, maintenance programs formulation, reliability management, airworthiness management, spare parts support, maintenance quality management, etc. the ideological and political education is implemented. Applying the teaching methods like heuristics, seminar and knowledge expansions and so on, the study interests of the students are inspired. Moreover, the students’ thinking ability, analyzing and solving problem ability, and innovative ability are cultivated by the achievement of ideological and political education. The ideological and political education elements, such as patriotic feelings, aviation service to the country, love and dedication to work, safety concept, quality consciousness, bottom line thinking, responsibility, team spirit, professional ethics and other ideological and political education elements, are embedded in the classroom teaching, and the knowledge transfer, ability training, value shaping and organic integration are realized, and the “cultivating people with morality” is put into practice.
