The Use of Technology in Collegiate Aviation Programs

Abstract

With introduction of Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) and advanced Global Positioning Systems (GPS), a blind survey was designed to measure the extent of technology utilized in collegiate aviation programs. University Aviation Association (UAA) member institutions completed an online
Likert Scale survey focusing on the perception of technology utilization within each aviation program. The survey questioned respondents regarding technology support, aircraft cockpit design, classroom accessories, internet resources, training facilities, and other miscellaneous areas regarding technology. The study was designed to aid university administrators when planning future technology implementation.
