Aerospace technicians are viewed by this project as graduatesof two year degree programs pursuing careers in the aerospace field as production workers,manufacturing engineers, or analysts. The solution has also provided a framework in whichcompanies can train current employees and potential employees in current aerospace concepts.The success of this project is due to a number of factors including ease of utilization,significance of the subject matter, and ability to modify content to meet the needs of theinstructor.
