I'm familiar with that one Groundloop. It was developed in cooperation with BEA/BOAC/BA (in its various manifestations) as the academic part of their graduate apprenticeship scheme. Graduates from the scheme got their hands dirty in BA's hangars then after qualifying stayed in the maintenance side of BA's E & M Division until they acquired experience and licences. Then, if they were lucky, they moved into the engineering side of E & M as Development Engineers. It was a good course, but has been overtaken by time. It is thin in some of the areas that I think are now needed in Development/Tech Services/Planning.
There is a huge gap between SR71's Route 1 and Route 2 that most people outside the tech support area of Air Transport operations don't appreciate. We don't need specialists in unsteady aerodynamics, Ferrari's wind tunnels or the Airbus FBW design office. Nor do we need former spanner wielders like me, who've read a lot of interesting books. It is an area that has become a specialism of its own. Which universities include the finer academic points of Quality Assurance auditing in an aeronautical degree course? Or organizational psychology - the very basis of Human Factors in Engineering? From what I've seen, and admittedly I've not seen as much as folk like Ghengis who are involved in both sides of aero-engineering, there's a widening gap between academic theory and industrial practice that disturbs me greatly.
