Aviation Technology (58) Tarrant County College and four partner institutions (Pennsylvania College of Technology, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Weatherford College, and San Jose State University along with aviation industry leaders, organized labor, the federal government, [including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the USAF Avionics Training Center, and the Community College of the Air Force]) are collaborating to provide specialized aircraft maintenance education and training programs that award graduates an industry recognized certification for each program successfully completed. Programs being developed fill the educational gap that exists between the FAA's minimum requirements for certification and licensure and the aviation industry's requirement for ongoing and advanced education. As the need to maintain the nation's vastly different aircraft continues to evolve, expand, and become more complex (including smart metals, advanced composites, advanced engine technologies, and anti-terrorist equipment), the aviation industry partners and the colleges involved are identifying and setting the standards for aviation maintenance technician education and certification programs. These programs are becoming the tools through which the individual aviation maintenance technician meets or upgrades his or her current and future education, training, and certification requirements.The intellectual merit for this project is the development of (1) world class, industry-driven, aircraft technician education programs that provide formal updating of curriculum, certification processes, and standards for aircraft maintenance technicians; and (2) partnerships between the FAA's Aviation Education Program, the Experimental Aircraft Association's Aeroscholars Program, and educational partners that establish K-12 articulation programs with postsecondary institutions; thus reforming aviation-grounded technology education in the United States, and fostering interest in associated science, mathematics, and technology fields. The broader impacts of this Center are through the following: (1) Partnering aviation colleges and other participating aviation academic institutions are provided a strategy for introduction, dissemination, and inclusion of a new educational core curriculum for aviation maintenance technicians. (2) Academic institutions have an opportunity to update programs and curriculum.(3) Partner institutions compete with best- in-class standards for aircraft technician education. (4) Students receive nationally recognized competencies and certification for employment. (5) Business and industry receive a better-educated work force with a curriculum that is adaptable for continued life-long learning. (6) The project serves as a national resource to strengthen our country's technical education base.(7) Thousands of current civilian electronics and avionics technicians receive certification for education previously accomplished in military and civilian education programs.(8) U.S. military electronics and avionics technicians certify their military education prior to separation from service.

航空技术（58）塔兰特县学院和四个合作机构（宾夕法尼亚理工学院、安柏瑞德航空大学、韦瑟福德学院、圣何塞州立大学、沿着航空业领袖、劳工组织、联邦政府，[包括联邦航空管理局（FAA）、美国空军航空电子培训中心、和空军社区学院]）正在合作提供专门的飞机维修教育和培训计划，为成功完成每个计划的毕业生颁发行业认可的认证。正在开发的项目填补了FAA对认证和许可证的最低要求与航空业对持续和高级教育的要求之间存在的教育差距。随着维护国家差异巨大的飞机的需求不断发展，扩大，变得更加复杂（包括智能金属，先进复合材料，先进发动机技术和反恐设备），航空业合作伙伴和相关学院正在确定和制定航空维修技术人员教育和认证计划的标准。这些计划正在成为一种工具，通过这种工具，航空维修技术人员个人可以满足或提高他或她当前和未来的教育、培训和认证要求。本项目的智力价值是：（1）发展世界级的、行业驱动的飞机维修技术人员教育计划，为飞机维修技术人员提供正式更新的课程、认证程序和标准;（2）FAA的航空教育计划、实验飞机协会的航空学者计划以及与中学后教育机构建立K-12衔接计划的教育合作伙伴之间的伙伴关系;从而改革美国以航空为基础的技术教育，并培养对相关科学、数学和技术领域的兴趣。该中心的更广泛的影响是通过以下方面：（1）合作航空学院和其他参与航空学术机构提供了一个战略，介绍，传播和纳入一个新的教育核心课程的航空维修技术人员。(2)学术机构有机会更新方案和课程。(3)伙伴机构与一流的航空技术人员教育标准竞争。(4)学生获得国家认可的能力和就业证书。(5)工商业获得了受过更好教育的劳动力，其课程可适应持续的终身学习。(6)该项目是加强我国技术教育基础的国家资源。(7)数以千计的民用电子和航空电子技术人员获得了以前在军事和民用教育计划中完成的教育认证。(8)美国军事电子和航空电子技术人员在退役前要证明他们的军事教育。
