The Nikki Kukwa Memorial Aeronautics Camp was established to celebrate the life of Nikki Kukwa. Nikki was a Kent State aeronautics student who was instrumental in establishing the Women in Aeronautics Club, was an exemplary student, and served as an inspiration to those who knew her. She passed away on Oct. 23, 2006, after receiving a leukemia diagnosis during her junior year at Kent State. This camp honors her positive influence in aeronautics, and we hope it inspires the next generation of female aviators.

The College of Aeronautics and Engineering is offering PLC training to students enrolled in academic programs as well as industry representatives. Experienced professors conduct all training at Kent State and are committed to providing the best learning experience. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a Programmable Logic Controllers Studio 5000 Logix Designer Basics certificate of completion.
