Distance Education
Distance education at Vaughn College encompasses the delivery of course work to a variety of sites beyond the main campus. The program is currently offered to the employees of our corporate partners and has been designed to meet the specific needs of the work force. Video conferencing technology is utilized in the delivery of classes to the workplace, scheduled at convenient times and locations, in order to accommodate the working student.
Classes are delivered using live, two-way, face-to-face communication in a near traditional class environment. Class lectures are supplemented with white boarding, document cameras, video recordings and computers. Assignments are either faxed or e-mailed directly to the course instructor.
Laboratories
Each laboratory provides the work/study environment suited to the requirements of each program.
Students learn to use the equipment and techniques that he or she will ultimately use once employed in the industry. This practical, hands-on experience helps qualify students for immediate employment upon graduation.
FLIGHT SIMULATOR
The FRASCA 142 flight simulator is a major component of the flight student???s on-campus training. Located in the flight
simulator lab, the FRASCA 142 allows
students to practice take-offs, landings and other flight maneuvers under
various simulated conditions.
hangar complex
The hangar complex provides a realistic aviation setting for students to perform hands-on maintenance on a variety of
aircraft. The present fleet comprises two twin-engine business jets and several twin- and single-engine general aviation aircraft.
Turbojet and turboprop aircraft engine theory of operation is further enhanced by the inclusion of three jet engine test cells.
The hangar facility is also equipped with composite and corrosion control laboratories which are specifically designed to offer hands-on courses in aircraft composite structures and non-destructive testing procedures. |
