Ferland, John A. Gaz, Raymond P. Martin; Assistant Professors, Blaine M. Hartog, Blaine R. Thornock, Richard M. Vandenberg, Jr.; Instructor, Jay A. Davis. The Automotive Engineering Technology Department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Automotive Engineering Technology, an associate of Applied Science degree in Automotive Service Auto Body, and Diesel Technology, and certificates and diplomas in Auto Body, Automotive Service and Diesel. The required programs of study are described below. Program areas have separate course number designations. AVIATION Objective: The Aviation program is designed to prepare a student by standards of the Federal Aviation Administration, in the safe conduct of flight operations. Further objectives of the program are those which move the student from the elementary understanding of aeronautical subjects to an in-depth professional understanding of all elements of aeronautical knowledge that have a direct bearing on pilot performance. For further information, please contact the School of Technology. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 101. Basic Ground School (4) An introductory course in aeronautical knowledge designed to give students a basic understanding of elements involved in air navigation procedures, pilot meteorology, aircaft performance, Federal Aviation rules and regulations and other subject areas having a relationship to Private Pilot performance. At the completion of this course, students should be prepared to take the F.A.A. written examination for the Private Pilot License. A Su 102. Advanced Ground School (5) An advanced course in aeronautical knowledge designed to give students an advanced level of understanding of flight subjects necessary for adequate performance at the Commercial Pilot level. At the completion of this course, students should be prepared to take the F.A.A. written examination for the Commercial Pilot License. Prerequisite: Students must have successfully passed the Private Pilot written examination prior to enrollment in this course. 103. Instrument Ground School (5) An advanced course in special aeronautical subject areas referring to pilot performance during instrument flight. Students should be ready to take the F.A.A. written examination for the Instrument Rating at the completion of this course. 140. Primary Flight Training (4) A beginning course in basic flying techniques, pre-solo and solo flights, cross country flights, navigation and flight in the National Aeronautics Space Systems. Students should be prepared for F.A.A. flight examinations for private pilot certification upon completion of this course. A S Su AUTO BODY PROGRAM Richard M. Vandenberg, Jr., Adviser Objective: The Auto Body program prepares the student for employment in automotive structure repair and painting. Students majoring in Auto Body may receive Certificates for completion of either the Auto Body Repair or Automotive Painting required courses of study. Diplomas will be awarded for completion of both Auto Body Repair and Automotive Painting programs. The Associate of Applied Science degree may be obtained upon completion of the requirements described below. Career Outlook: The Institutional Diploma and the Associate of Applied Science Degree prepare the student to accept beginning jobs with major dealerships or to operate a business on a self-employment basis. The Certificate programs in Auto Body and 248 Technology Auto Body Painting prepare one to become a skilled specialist in either area. Job opportunities in all areas are good, with employment available with large dealerships, small shops and transportation systems organizations.
