Aircraft Maintenance Specialization

The Aircraft Maintenance Specialization provides students who have completed an FAA-approved airframe and powerplant program or who are licensed aircraft technicians (A&P's) with the opportunity to advance their technical skills beyond the level of basic certification. In this specialization students will be introduced to aviation electronics for maintenance technicians, aviation electronics flight-line maintenance, advanced composite repair, flight management systems, aviation maintenance management, and advanced propulsion systems.

As the aviation industry rapidly changes and as new requirements are anticipated for the aviation maintenance technician of the future, SIUC graduates will be well prepared to meet the challenges of these new requirements and to occupy new positions of responsibility.
