Aircraft Powerplant Technology<br />
Engine maintenance facilities, contract maintenance, general<br />
aviation operators, <strong>and</strong> regional <strong>and</strong> national airlines employ<br />
technicians specializing in powerplant accessories, components, <strong>and</strong><br />
reciprocating <strong>and</strong> turbine engine technology. Aircraft Powerplant<br />
Technology students learn basic aviation knowledge, shop practices,<br />
aircraft engines <strong>and</strong> electrical, troubleshooting <strong>and</strong> overhaul. For<br />
quicker entry into the industry, an Aircraft Powerplant Technology<br />
certificate is available.<br />
Aircraft Powerplant Technology is available at the Abilene, Harlingen<br />
<strong>and</strong> Waco campuses. Course sequence varies from campus to<br />
campus. Contact your local campus for details.<br />
