Core Plus Aerospace

Instructor: Frank Juno, Boeing Foundational Drawings Instructor

Orthographic Projections and Aerospace Assembly: Join us for a one-day workshop centered around aerospace assembly drawings and orthographic projections.  Immerse yourself in hands-on exercises and develop skills in translating three-dimensional objects onto a two-dimensional plane—a vital skill for all aerospace applications. Learn to interpret and use assembly drawings effectively, ensuring adherence to industry standards, and smooth manufacturing processes. Engage in a collaborative assembly project, working with other attendees to put together mock aerospace assemblies. This practical exercise mirrors real-world challenges faced in aerospace assembly scenarios, providing valuable experience. This workshop is a great occasion to learn skills you can pass onto students, whether they are looking to enter the aerospace industry or for more general manufacturing opportunities.
