Curriculum Development/ Integration Single Concept Simulation

Abstract

When questioning why students should major in aviation while attending a college or university rather than simply flying at an FBO, two factors that must be considered in curriculum design come to mind: 1. Depth and coverage of aviation subjects; 2. Integration of flight training in course work. Of these two considerations, the most difficult to attain is curriculum integration. The problem appears to be amplified by a number of factors which include a four year variable time block, weather, illness, financial problems, and either over or under ambitious advancement in the flight curriculum.
