Curtis Bouchie
My name is Curtis Bouchie, a junior in aeronautical engineering technology. I gained first-hand field experience through my internship with Textron Aviation as an aircraft support engineer. In my role, I helped complete maintenance tasks, which required working hands-on with other engineers, going through engineering drawings, re-wiring entire circuits, and any other tasks. I got the opportunity to fix problems every day, which is one of the main reasons I chose aeronautical engineering technology as my major.
