EvCC Joins Boeing's AerosPACE Program
First Invited Community College in the Nation
Everett Community College is the first community college in the nation to join five universities in a Boeing-led collaboration to close the skills gap in aerospace engineering.
EvCC is the newest partner in AerosPACE (Aerospace Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering) along with Purdue, Georgia Institute of Technology, Tuskegee, BrighamYoung and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Universities. Industry partners in the AerosPACE program include NASA, Siemens, edX, Stratasys, and CD-adapco. Boeing created the program in 2013 to help the next generation of aerospace employees learn through real-life collaboration on a project. "The opportunity for Everett Community College to partner with Boeing on the AerosPACE program, along with a number of distinguished universities, is a testament to the caliber of the school," said Boeing Senior Manager Duard King. "Providing students from EvCC the chance to collaborate with students from other schools trains them for what they will see in the workplace with the dynamic global environment. AerosPACE prepares students and helps to build a pipeline of future Boeing employees."
