Labs and Simulation Spaces

In the Systems Lab, students gain hands-on experience with aircraft electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and control systems, learning how to inspect, troubleshoot, and maintain the complex systems found in modern aircraft. 

In this lab, truck and coach technicians and mechanical repairers inspect, diagnose, repair and service mechanical, electrical and electronic systems and components of heavy trucks and buses, as well as light and commercial transport trucks.

A turbine engine uses pressurized air passed over blades, called turbines, to create the thrust used to move the aircraft. The engine is made in two basic sections: a gas generator with an accessory gearbox and a free power turbine with reduction gearbox. There are many variants of turbine engines used on planes, helicopters, land vehicles, boats and for industrial uses.

Students from all three Mohawk aviation technician programs—Aircraft Maintenance, Aircraft Structures and Avionics Maintenance—will use this computer lab to learn how to navigate aircraft maintenance manuals and reports.

In the VR Welding Lab students practice welding in a safe, risk-free environment. Students are able to try different types of welds, positions, material and even oxy-fuel cutting on a realistic job site. The weld can be manipulated with the same precision as welding in a shop or on a jobsite. This lab is built to give students the confidence they need to be successful before they step into the shop.

Also known as rooms 1-4, each room is equipped with a different brand of X-ray technology, allowing the students to simulate real world experiences and practice their skills on a variety of units, including our newest addition, the portable X-ray.
