About this Major

Aviation Sheet Metal focuses on teaching basic aircraft structural skills. Students spend time in the classroom learning terminology, tools, equipment, blueprint reading and shop safety before moving into the shop for hands-on experience. This second portion of the class focuses on advanced aviation sheet metal skills. Training is performed primarily on assemblies and panels, workbenches and some actual aircraft components.

Oklahoma aviation employers had drawn more aviation sheet metal mechanics from our Aviation Sheet Metal training program than any other since 2006. These materials require skilled technicians, and completing this course can help ensure your entry into a successful, growing aerospace industry.
