The aviation industry is exceptionally dynamic. Advances in technology have enabled the industry to change drastically in a short period of time. The transition to jet propulsion advances in aerodynamics, avionics improvements, and introduction of revolutionary navigation systems have all occurred within the past 60 years. These advances have…

This is a report on a survey to determine the feasibility of establishing aviation training programs at a New York community college. It examines existing sources, and present and future needs for commercial pilots, aviation mechanics, and airline stewardesses. Among the conclusions are the discovery that the aviation industry is on the threshold…

Author, a certified flight instructor, suggests flying as an incentive to students not otherwise interested in standard school curriculum. (RK)

Presents results of a 1946 study of student interests which was used to develop a source book for materials and planning for aerospace education. (BR)

CONDUCTED FOR COCHISE COLLEGE BY THE CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY, THIS STUDY ASSESSED THE EMPLOYMENT NEEDS FOR TECHNICALLY TRAINED PERSONNEL. EXAMINATION OF GOVERNMENT RECORDS, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS, AND COMMUNICATION WITH INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS SHOWED THAT FIVE OF SIX MAJOR EMPLOYERS OF AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT ("A AND P") MECHANICS PREFERRED…

As a replacement to the 1970 version, reports of aviation-aerospace educational programs as of March, 1971, for 67 high schools and 6 community colleges of California, are included in this 1972 status report. Following a statement of the rationale and a discussion of the historical development, detailed descriptions are given for most institutions…

Describes a cluster concept approach for aerospace technician training in the junior college, student matriculation, flight instruction techniques, instructional equipment, faculty, admission policy, and sources of support. (GR)

Describes a course for non-engineering students as an introduction to: (1) the physical principles of flight within the atmosphere and in space, (2) the major historical developments in the conquest of air and space, and (3) the current state of aeronautical developments. (Author/TS)

Discusses the development of an airway science program. The program would offer the bachelor's in airway science with five options--airway science, aircraft systems, airway electronics or airway electronics management, and airway computer science. A sample curriculum outline (focusing on the five options) is included. (JN)

To meet the current demand for certified aviation mechanics and satisfy student learning needs, a nationwide study developed a core curriculum based on related technical knowledge and skills. Endorsed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) this 5-year study modified a number of the emerging concepts appropriate to vocational education and…

These curriculum studies were intended to determine the feasibility of new career programs in public service and aviation and to set priorities in improving or establishing them. The investigators visited administrators at selected institutions, employed consultants from many public and private agencies, and studied current literature. After study…

There is no aerospace industry in Turkey, and the level of operational activity is low even though the potential for the exploitation of aviation is high. The government of Turkey hopes to establish an aircraft factory in conjunction with a foreign contractor and is aware of the need for aerospace engineering education. This paper describes the…

The objective of the project was to investigate the utility of using an A/F37A-T4G T-37 flight simulator within the context of Air Force undergraduate pilot training. Twenty-one subjects, selected from three undergraduate pilot training classes, were given contact flight training in a TP4G/EPT simulator before going to T-37 aircraft for further…

The report documents the results of a national survey of book publishing firms and aviation maintenance technician schools to (1) identify the text materials used in the training of aviation mechanics; (2) appraise the suitability and availability of identified text materials; and (3) determine the adequacy of the text materials in meeting the…
