  1. Increasing Enrollment in the Aeronautical Engineering Technology Program By Isaac Parenteau

  2. Agenda • The Need • Description of the Project • Budget • Conclusion

  3. Need • Problem: • Airframe & Power Plant License • Lack of Advertisement • Ramifications: • Economical Feasibility • Gaps in Employment • Program Cancellation

  4. Economical Feasibility • Expensive Parts • $2000 Pre-made Solar panel • $2.50 per remnant • $2500 power board • $400 x2 for batteries • Lithium batteries substituted because of the lack of funds

  5. Employment Gaps • Degrees in Aerospace Declined 41% Between 1991-2000 • 75% Will Need to be Retrained • 80% of the Positions Will Need a College Degree

  6. Program Cancellation • Unable to Fulfill Employment Gap • “VTC would be irresponsible if we spent thousands of dollars on a program that had insufficient enrollment” –Dr. Ty Handy, President of VTC

  7. Project Description • Eliminate the Airframe and Power Plant License Requirement. • Rename the Program to Better Suit its Curriculum • Add More Classes to Fill the Gap • Advertise to Local Companies and Schools.

  8. New Curriculum Name • Aerospace Technology
