Chen Jinrun, director of the civil aviation department, said the program helps students learn to set up their own companies in the aviation industry.

"We hope to encourage students set up their own company after graduation through this program," said president Li.

Mirco-eye Technology is the first company to join Hailian’s program. It gives guidance to students including a CATIA software training and flight modulators programs.

"Flight simulators are no longer new, but the simulator is not only developed by the students themselves, but is also one of the few machines that can be used to diagnose aircrafts’ problems," said Chen.

Chen went on to say that the college will develop flight modulators for helicopters and training aircraft in the near future.
