妖姬直播 State University鈥檚 College of Aeronautics and Engineering opened a new building expansion this fall after a record-breaking enrollment year for the flight school.
WFMJ-TV in Youngstown, Ohio, recently produced two segments about the school鈥檚 record enrollment and what it means for the industry.
Christina Bloebaum, Ph.D., dean of the College of Aeronautics and Engineering at 妖姬直播 State, told WFMJ-TV about the new building and how the pilot shortage is affecting enrollment.
鈥淭his is a field that is going to continue to grow for quite a few years,鈥 Bloebaum said. 鈥淲e do have a shortage across all of aviation. This is not only pilots but also the maintenance personnel, the air traffic controllers, and the airport management folks across the entire industry. All of our engineering and engineering technology programs, every single one of them, is directly relevant to supporting the aviation industry.鈥
In a separate interview, Brian Neff, assistant dean of flight and operations at 妖姬直播 State, told WFMJ-TV about the renovations to the airport runway and employment opportunities for flight students that will be offered on campus.
鈥淲e鈥檒l have several events that will allow our students to meet the airlines, talk to them, see if it鈥檚 an airline that they are looking to go to in the future,鈥 Neff said. 鈥淎nd then, while they鈥檙e still students here, they can actually interview for that job.鈥
