AVIM 103 - Aerospace Manufacturing Assembly Mechanic


PREREQUISITES: AVIM 101 - Aerospace Manufacturing Core .
PROGRAM: Aerospace Manufacturing
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019

The Aerospace Manufacturing Assembly Mechanic Concepts training program is designed to provide theory support and to prepare the learner to move into the application portion of the program. Skills and knowledge in aerospace manufacturing techniques are formed in reparation of hands-on application in the next phase of the program. This will give you an understanding of the products produced, as well as the tools, materials, and procedures you’ll need to be successful as an employee of an aerospace manufacturing/ maintenance organization. The following subject areas will be covered: Aerospace manufacturing Orientation, Power Island Equipment, Basic Drilling & Riveting, Advanced Fasteners, Countersinking 7 Flush Riveting, 90 Degree Drilling, Wing Structure, Fuselage Skin, Drilling Titanium, Drilling Composite, Sealant Application, Electrical Bond & Composite Manufacturing

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate an understanding of the opportunities, principles, and culture of being an aerospace assembly mechanic.
  2. Exhibit knowledge of power island equipment and associated safety practices.
