If they dont already, I hope AAMU jumps in to establish a good relationship with Boeing. FAMU has excellent relations with them, and sends them interns and grads every year.

Alabama is part of an effort to save more than $100 million a year, documents from the company show.
Boeing announced late last year it will move as many as 400-high paying engineering jobs to Huntsville as part of what the company described as a reorganization and realignment of its research and technology operations. The 400 jobs are among 2,000 technology positions that are being divided among centers in southern California; St. Louis, Mo.; North Charleston, SC; and Seattle, Wash.

Huntsville's center will focus on simulation and decision analytics and metals and chemical technology, according to company officials.

Boeing has been hiring AAMU grads in large numbers for years. In fact they helped created the curriculum for the full Engineering program when we received it back in 1996.
