The department has an enrollment of 270 students. The Aviation Program's Flight Simulation Lab is equipped with over 10 simulators and enjoys access to the County's Reid-Hillview Airport with a 10,000 SF hangar, classrooms, laboratories, and offices. Students in both the Aviation and Technology Programs can participate in internships and earn credits (Avia 195 and Tech 195). Undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to engage in individual research projects, collaborating with department faculty to gain experience in conducting research, motivating them to pursue graduate studies (Avia 180 and Tech 180). The Department relies on its own students to take leads in supervising laboratory sessions and assist faculty in laboratory development and grading.
