The Air Force Institute of Technology’s Civil Engineer School, located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, recently visited Spangdahlem, Air Base, Germany to teach their “Requirements and Optimization” course, WMGT 436.

The mission of AFIT’s CE School is to develop agile, innovative and ready civil engineers by providing vital, relevant and connected professional continuing education and consultation services in support of the USAF and joint engineer operations.

WMGT 436 enables civil engineers to optimize the thousands of infrastructure requirements on an installation base.  By optimizing requirements, the overall health of the base infrastructure increases and allows operational missions to be completed.

Although WMGT 436 is traditionally an online synchronous course taught on-site at AFIT, instructors were able to tailor the course to specific United States Air Forces in Europe processes and issues, and bring AFIT’s cutting-edge education on-site to Spangdahlem, Air Base, Germany.

Students were chosen from USAFE installations and had representation from Spangdahlem Air Base, Ramstein Air Base and Mildenhall Air Base.

“This on-site offering of the Requirements and Optimization course was an incredible success! It was great to bring in Civil Engineers from across Europe with a tailored focus on business processes and improvements at their installations. The Spangdahlem community were fantastic hosts and the Civil Engineers in this theater are top notch,” said Capt. Clayton Pratt, instructor, WMGT 436.

Eligibility for WMGT 436 is open to all CE Airman, but is most applicable to CE enlisted airman, officers and civilians in the Operations and Engineering flights.  The course is also upgrade training for two Air Force Specialty Codes, Operations Managers and Electricians.

The Air Force Institute of Technology, AFIT, located at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, is committed to providing defense-focused graduate education and related research, and operationally-relevant initial skills training and professional continuing education to sustain the technological supremacy of America's air, space, and cyber forces. 

The vision of AFIT’s Civil Engineer School, or CE is to ensure every Civil Engineer Airman is educated through a Continuum of Learning to confidently and expertly integrate engineer capabilities for mission success and to be recognized as the defense leader of delivering joint engineer education.  For more information about CE courses, please visit https://www.afit.edu/CE/index.cfm , call 937-255-6565 (option 7 for CE), or email afit.ce.cmc@us.af.mil .
