In addition to a description of current pilot training and a literature review, the document describes the curriculum in terms of accreditation and general education requirements, the curriculum's philosophy, Federal Aviation Administration orientation, the kinds of students the curriculum is expected to attract, the employment orientation of the curriculum, an advisory board, and the scope and sequence of courses. The document includes 48 references and appendices that contain occupational information about piloting; a list of aviation programs; information on Muskegon College of Business and Technology; course descriptions; course fee information; degree requirements; questionnaires for identifying needs, potential employers, and advisory board members; and a list of pilot license requirements.
