{"title":"Desirable Faculty Qualifications as Assessed by Students in the Aeronautical Science Program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University","authors":"J. Lewis, Donald E. Smith","doi":"10.58940/2329-258x.1562","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58940/2329-258x.1562","url":null,"abstract":"Over 89% of the sophomore aerodynamics students (182 out of 207) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University were surveyed during Spring Term 2003 to explore student preferences relative to instructor qualifications in the Aeronautical Science Program. The study was initiated because of the great difficulty that particular department, as in many aviation-focused universities, has had recruiting PhD credentialed faculty with significant professional or military flight experience. To perhaps aid in the hiring process, a tough question was asked: Do students prefer PhD level faculty with limited flight experience or Masters level faculty with significant professional or military flight experience? Results indicated that although students would like to see both PhD credentials and significant profession or military flight experience, when given a choice they prefer faculty with significant professional or military flight experience, even if the faculty member has only obtained a Master's degree. It is speculated that the reason might relate to the evidence that shows, \"... students engaged in pursuing collegiate aviation programs are 'different' from traditional college students. Aviation students are not searching for a career; they have found one and are taking steps to realize their dreams. They approach learning as an adult.\" (Brady, Stolzer, Muller and Schaum, 2001). Aeronautical Science students from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Science and a Commercial Pilot's license with multi-engine and instrument ratings. Most also have flight instructor credentials. It is said an Embry-Riddle graduate occupies one of four cockpit seats in the airline industry. These Aeronautical Science students arrive their freshman year focused and remain that way. They are much more conservative than students at traditional universities. They know what they want to do with then* lives and they appreciate the various courses that pertain to their professional future. It was concluded by (Brady, Stolzer, Muller and Schaum, 2001),\"... students engaged in pursuing collegiate aviation programs are \"different\" from traditional college students. Aviation students are not searching for a career, they have found one and are taking steps to realize their dreams. They approach learning as an adult.\" We thought these students also might feel differently about the value of the academic credentials of their instructors compared to the value of the flight experience of their instructors. An opinion survey was conducted of 207 Aeronautical Science students in seven sections of a relatively technical Aerodynamics course. 182 students (87.9%) completed the survey. They are predominately sophomore year students.

{"title":"Andragogical Methods for Teaching Advanced Cockpit Flying Skills to Professional Pilots","authors":"P. Ross, Janet Cosman-Ross","doi":"10.58940/2329-258x.1588","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58940/2329-258x.1588","url":null,"abstract":"This paper is an examination of the adult (andragogical) learning methods required to teach flying skills to pilots of &the-art, computerized aircraft. The concepts of the learning process, andragogical teaching methods, student need-to-know, student motivation, and selfdkcted learning are examined. The paper concludes that andragogical methods must be used in order to transfer the required skills. In the last ten years aircraft cockpits have become increasingly complicated with the introduction of Flight Management Systems, Electronic Instnunent Systems with various display formats, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems, TratTic Collision and Avoidance Systems, Fly-by-Wire, and Head-Up-Displays. This article is an examination of the adult learning methods required to teach flying skills for advanced cockpits. The following concepts will be examined: The learning process Andragogical (adult) teaching methods Student need-to-know Motivation Self-directed learning. This article concludes that andragogical teaching methods must be used in order for professional pilots to develop the skills required to manage advanced cockpits. LEARNING AS A PROCESS Knowles, Holton, and Swanson (1998) define learning as a process in which the learner gains knowledge andtor expertise. The word process is an important one. Understanding the importance of process can help an instructor become a successful teacher. When the learning process is good, learning objectives will be met. This is described by learning theorist Harris and Schwahn (Knowles et al., 1998) By nurturing a sound learning process, the required training milestones (phase checks and evaluations) become small steps in a building block process that gradually improves the student's flying skills, insight, and selfawareness. If instructors focus on milestones instead of the learning process, the student will not completely develop the necessary insights and mental models required to operate sophisticated aircraft. ANDRAGOGICAL TEACHING METHOD The best way to teach professional pilots is with andragogical teaching methods as opposed to pedagogical teaching methods. Andragogical methods place the instructor in the role of facilitator. Pedagogical methods place the instructor in the role of lecturer or narrator. Pedagogical teaching methods are often used to teach children. Andragogical (adult) methods have the following characteristics: The instructor treats the student as an equal. The instructor and student learn together in a collaborative atmosphere. The instructor encourages the students to ask questions at any time. The instructor creates a relaxed atmosphere. The instructor always considers that the students' experiences and knowledge may have application to the learning process. Andragogical teaching goals should agree with the ones described by Gagne (Knowles et al., 1998). These include motor skills, verbal information intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, and attitudes. : Motor skills These","PeriodicalId":335288,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115596897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smith","doi":"10.58940/2329-258x.1589","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58940/2329-258x.1589","url":null,"abstract":"Collegiate aviation programs are in jeopardy as administrators laclung aviation experience or understandmg of the aerospace industry attempt to mold these specialized programs into traditional academic programs. Bereft of aviation experience, administrators are simply doing what they know-with the best of intentions. Collegiate aviation programs provide well educated safe and professional pilots for the aviation industry. One ofthe leading universities in the field can boast that one of every four cockpit seats in the airline industry is filled by its graduates. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accrediting agency points out collegiate aviation programs should be treated diffe~ntly than traditional academic programs with respect to faculty terminal degrees. The terminal degree criteria for aviation programs is the master's degree. SACS recognizes the strength of a good aviation program lies in instructors who have extensive experience in the aviation industry rather than those with impressive academic credentials. The best aviation programs in the United States have attained and maintained their status by doing just that: hiring aviation professionals with advanced degrees, usually technical master's degrees. This is a very sound practice. Appropriate technical areas are covered well, but not too deeply as would be required in an Aerospace Engineering curriculum. The instructors know what depth of knowledge is required to not only train an aviation professional but also what is required to keep them alive. By word of mouth, information regarding these programs has spread, bringing in thousands of serious aviation oriented students. There is an increasing attempt to mold these successful programs into traditional academic models. These initiatives are usually the consequence of the policies of college or university administration officials with little or no experience in aviation . They speak of attaining status as a mature or traditional university and insist upon hiring faculty with doctorates. It does not seem to matter what type doctoral is hired, as long as there is a D somewhere in the title. This is ironic in that some traditional universities are m-g in the opposite direction realizing that the Ph.D. is not the be all and end all. The first problem with the doctoral approach is the lack of a doctorate degree in the aviation field of study. One could argue a Ph.D. in Aeronautical or Aerospace Engineering could handily teach a pilot oriented Aerodynamics class, but without experience in the field, the approach may tend to be theoretical instead of practical. In addition, one would have to ask why this person would even want to teach in an aviation department when an Aerospace Engineering department would offer greater challenges in his orher field. Suppose an experienced aviation department faculty member took a sabbatical and obtained a technical Ph.D. It is doubtful their approach to teaching pilot oriented Aerodynami","PeriodicalId":335288,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115760831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
