1. In partnership with Tarrant County College and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Northwest ISD will provide students with a premiere educational experience that seeks entry level certifications along with dual enrollment opportunities for aeronautics and aviation sciences.

2.  Aeronautics- the science or practice of travel through the air. (theory of flight)  Aviation-the operation of heavier- than-air aircraft and airplane manufacturing, development, and design  Aviation science-refers to the large field surrounding aircraft operations and support systems. In addition to flight operations, it includes aircraft maintenance, air traffic control, airport and airline management.

3.  Partnerships TCC- Junior and Senior year Embry Riddle University-Sophomore thru Senior year

4.  Aircraft Maintenance Program Highlights  2-year A.A.S. degree or certificate of completion in 4 areas of specialization  Largest aviation education facility in Texas  $3 million in training equipment  Outstanding Faculty, including 5 FAA-designated Mechanics Examiners  Professional Pilot Program Highlights  2-year program  Professional pilot-centered training  American Eagle Pipeline Participant through our partner, US Aviation Academy  Guaranteed interview with US Aviation Academy for Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) position following completion of CFI Program  Restricted Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP) qualified (pending approval)  Cessna, Piper and Schweizer Aircraft  Self-Examining Authority  Price competitive

5.  Embry-Riddle continues to be the most highly regarded institution dedicated to the field. It is the nation’s largest, oldest, and most comprehensive aeronautical university.  Diverse programs span associates through doctorate, and are offered in a range of learning environments from on-site at one of two residential campuses, in classrooms near you, and even online.  Using the state-of-the-art technology housed in our labs, students and faculty at Embry-Riddle conduct approximately $17 million worth of applied research per year.  Embry-Riddle students come from all 50 states and 98 nations.  Statistical data from the most recent Alumni Survey show that 93% of Embry-Riddle graduates from the Daytona Beach and Prescott campuses are either employed or have continued their education within one year of graduation.  The major airlines hire more alumni from Embry-Riddle than from any other collegiate aviation program.  Embry-Riddle is the nation's largest supplier of air traffic controllers with bachelor degrees to the FAA.  Six Embry-Riddle alumni are current or former astronauts: Daniel Burbank (Worldwide Campus, Langley AFB, Va.); B. Alvin Drew (Worldwide Campus, Las Vegas, Nev.); Ronald Garan Jr. (Worldwide Campus, Las Vegas, Nev.); Susan Kilrain (Daytona Beach Campus); Nicole Stott (Daytona Beach Campus); and Terry Virts Jr. (Worldwide Campus, Spangdahlem, Germany).
