An examination of aviation/aerospace's interaction with the world from the viewpoint of positive and negative effects. Short term and long-term effects will be investigated to highlight the significant challenges associated with forming a sustainable future for the industry by examining case studies and best management and technology practices.
Investigate sustainable operations of aviation and aerospace organizations. Analyze how the distinctive operations of aviation and aerospace organizations could move along with sustainability practices. Sustainable strategies must be a core element within aviation and aerospace organizations; the development of a sustainable strategy should consider the distinctive characteristics of the industry and the interactions among its stakeholders.
Aviation and aerospace industries today reach across cultural and international boundaries. This course addresses the global aspects of building and sustaining the aviation and aerospace workforce by examining leadership, staffing techniques, cross-cultural communications, diversity, workforce development and social equity.
Successful sustainability solutions stretch across many disciplines in any industry. This course examines the need to apply an interdisciplinary
methodology to solving sustainability concerns for aviation/aerospace industries. Appropriate technical solutions are best derived through
collaboration and appreciate of diverse contributions; a systematic process. Communication across teams, organizations, regulatory authorities and the general public is stressed in the course
Systems in aviation and aerospace are complex and diverse across many global platforms. This course investigates the design, development and maintenance of not only aerospace vehicles, but the systems needed to maintain them, through application of forward thinking engineering, environmental and management practices to determine sustainable solutions. Also, this course will present the accelerating developments practices in several initiatives that have the potential to benefit international aviation's contribution across the main pillars of sustainability.
For any type of aviation or aerospace activity, the quest towards a more sustainable future must integrate policies, legal requirements, and ethical concerns. Legal considerations include international treaties along with federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing environmental, intellectual property, aftermarket product ownership rights and others. These legal obligations form a crucial component of sustainability for any organization.
In this course, students will investigate the current communications methods utilized in corporate communications within the aviation and aerospace industry. Many aviation and aerospace organizations now encompass increasingly global boundaries. As such, the necessity to communicate clearly and effectively across multiple types of groups inside as well as outside an organization is a sustainable responsibility. Students will examine best practice communication methods utilized by industries of all types to identify best practices or updated methods of communication to promote sustainability in the aviation and aerospace industry.
The MSAAS Capstone Course is the culminating effort of the student's entire learning experience. The student will complete an individual project that provides significant evidence of experience in aviation and or aerospace studies. Students will work with designated faculty to formulate, develop, and complete the aviation and or aerospace sustainability project. The completion of the Capstone Course is designed to document significant evidence that all Program Outcomes have been met. The Capstone Course will be taken at the end of the student's degree program.
