For an ever-evolving industry, the Aerospace world is constantly in search of young and energetic enthusiasts who are well prepared and trained to combat the demanding needs of the industry. We have evolved from 1902 when the Wright brothers took to gliding from the mountains before making a landmark step in a powered flight a year later in 1903. Today well over a hundred years later; we are not only producing sustained powered aircraft but also B787 Dreamliner, the world’s first major airliner to use composite materials as the primary material. The construction of its air frame makes it the most fuel efficient aircraft in the world. In this program I will prepare you using resources and tools provided by Boeing, our major partner in the Aerospace Manufacturing & Maintenance Technology program. Whether your focus is Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing, Maintenance or Commercial Pilot, you will learn the necessary skills and knowledge to make your transition into the industry with ease. You will learn about the theory of flight, aircraft engines, aircraft electrical and hydraulic systems and structures through lectures, lab/workshop, field trips and assignments. Successful students from this program can earn up to 20 college credits at the completion of the first year, and an additional 20 credits when they return and complete the second year of the curriculum by testing into the Aviation program at EvCC. Students must successfully complete the Aviation entry exam in order to receive any of the 40 college credits. This class has a $25 annual lab fee.
