Aviation Capstone

Catalog description

This course will bring all elements of the Aviation Maintenance Management degree (maintenance operations for air carriers, charter operations, or commercial operations, Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), aviation safety, and airport operations) together into a culminating learning experience. This course will also provide opportunities to prepare students for the post-graduation job search through resume writing and job interview skills. Students will work on group projects covering maintenance operations for large and small aircraft, and auditing compliance of selected FARs. Individual projects will cover maintenance operations as an Aviation Maintenance Technician from a project based learning perspective, and creating an individual resume. This course is designed for aviation students who desire a complete understanding of how the many, various facets of an organization interact to keep an aircraft in an airworthy and in a flying status. Students will also construct a Capstone Portfolio to provide an overview of the knowledge, skills, and abilities learned about the aviation maintenance industry.
