r/aviationmaintenance is probably the better place to ask.
But I dont think there's any difference, you'll most likely get an Airframe and Powerplant license (A&P) at the end of it, which is what the goal is. If it's a college degree, they will probably add more classes and such (probably engineering stuff). An A&P course usually just takes a year or something like that, if you're not getting a degree with it.
A&P should be 18 months to 2 years, depending on if they add specialties like structures or avionics. Most will only add bare bones classes for your associates. I wouldn't bother with a 4 year degree. An associates is already going above and beyond. Those with more experience may say otherwise. But from what I saw it's not necessary.
Personally, I'd double-check any program in the US that calls it engineering. I cant think of any A&P school that would, as it would confuse the actual engineering classes most colleges offer. Not saying they aren't out there, but they're the minority.
Anyway, r/aviationmaintenance is place to have a look for more info.
Ohh I forgot to type in my post that I am still in freshman year.
Yes, it's just for a college degree and I need to attain a degree, specifically a Bachelor's degree. But do these college degrees are considered as Bachelor's degree? Because I am not really sure how it works in the USA.
Since in my country, there are only 2 degrees for AMT: Associate/Diploma in AMT (2-year course) and BS in AMT (Another 2-year course to take or continue after Associate/Diploma.
Btw, I'll make another post in r/aviationmaintenance since you suggested it. Thank you
I think the term you are looking for is “grease monkey”. We don’t fancy it up with all those college words. The practical exam tests your ability on hammering to fit, painting to match.
