AEO Resources

Welcome to the Aerospace Education Officer (AEO) Resource site. This site's left menu bar provides resources and links that relate directly to the positions of AEOs and DAEs, especially as relates to the External AE Program.

For a very general overview of the AE Program, to include internal and external programs, please visit the AE Programs page.
For an excellent overview of the AEM program, use SC Wing's Lt Robert Roberts' AEM Program video!
