Study consisted of a six-item questionnaire sent to 155 district school superintendents, to advise Montana's secondary program planners of the availability and nationwide popularity of high school aerospace education offerings and to solicit input concerning interest in on-site capability of supporting a one and two semester aerospace elective in…

Describes the aerospace program conducted in conjunction with the industrial program in New York City for grades 6 through 9. The program teaches aerospace technology and related careers through the building of flying models and other industrial projects built in school workshops. (BR)

Describes an aviation course at Perris High School, (Perris, California) designed primarily for potential high school dropouts in which students rebuilt a wrecked airplane. (BR)

Describes the Junior Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) program presently being operated in 275 units across the country. It is basically a three year course in aerospace studies and leadership education. (BR)

Describes a two week workshop which concentrated on involving teachers in action oriented aerospace activities and sharing ideas and materials for the application of aerospace concepts in the classroom. Research was also done to see if participants' attitudes toward aerospace education could be positively influenced to enhance personal teaching…

Describes the vital role training plays in the general aviation industry and describes the Cessna International Training Academy and urges more training programs to spur the growth of the industry. (BR)

This paper examines the work of resident engineers in a university setting. The need for engineers with industrial experience is established, and the benefits of using resident engineers in training programs are cited. Attributes and problems associated with the practice are studied from the viewpoints of industry, government, universities, and…

With the decline in enrollment in the early 1970's, many aerospace engineering departments had too few students to offer some required courses. At the University of Texas at Austin, a set of personalized system of instruction (PSI) materials for the aircraft performance, stability, and control course was developed. The paper includes a description…

An interdisciplinary program related to aerospace and marine topics was created for students in the ninth and tenth grades in Washington, D.C. The curriculum and staff development focused upon the development of experiences incorporated within science, mathematics, communication skills, career education, and physical education. Objectives of the…

Surveys the literature, curricula, materials and resources relating to Aerospace Education. Suggests methods for development of curricular materials, resource banks, and teaching and inservice resources. (CS)

Presents three articles describing interdisciplinary aerospace education programs, at the secondary level, that were effective in increasing student response, interest, and achievement. (SL)
