Aircraft mechanics (Airframe/Powerplant or A&P) have the important job of ensuring that airplanes and helicopters are safe to fly.  They maintain and repair aircraft systems such as engines, propellers, landing gear, hydraulics, electrical, oxygen, flight controls, and the exterior of the aircraft.

21st century aviation personnel are able to use computers--to take advantage of today's technological advances to predict equipment failure, speed turn-around times, and utilize advanced materials and processes to reduce costs and increase reliability.

Monitoring systems on aircraft help make the pilot's and the technician's jobs easier. Passengers can rest assured that the aircraft's maintenance history is electronically updated, so the next flight will depart on time and will fly safely to it's destination.

EOCC's avionics program begins with a broad-based approach to the study of electronics and builds towards specialized application in aviation electronics equipment.

Students receive extensive hands-on training with aviation electronics equipment designed to develop technical and professional knowledge required in contemporary avionics repair facilities.

Offices in the Sky.  Corporate connectivity--whether in the air or on the ground--enables businesses to transform travel time into productive time.

Avionics technicians, who are capable of repairing the complex electronic communication and navigation equipment on today's aircraft, are in great demand, and will continue to be.

To ensure that graduates have the skills employers need, EOCC has developed new courses in digital/microprocessor electronics, color radar, collision avoidance systems, and computer-assisted ground school units.

Flight/autopilot systems and test equipment are covered in the advanced classes.

Data from the U.S. Department of Labor indicates that individuals who work in this field will earn more, on average, than any college graduate, except those who find managerial or professional jobs such as banking, law and engineering.
