Aviation Technology I will expose students to several clusters of technology where they will explore solutions to everyday problems. Students will become knowledgeable of structural design and will be given the chance to study six different engineering areas. Using the Aviation theme, this course will apply mathematical and scientific principles in a hands-on laboratory environment to solve various real world problems.

This course is designed to rotate students through fourteen technological modules with each module consisting of a 10 day rotation period. Each module is a self-paced, skill-based, and student-centered learning activity.

The Aviation Technology I & II courses are taught in the Diversified Technology Modular lab. They use the same standards and modules that are used for the Diversified Technology classes except the projects are more related towards the Aviation industry.

Aviation Technology II will expose students to more advanced structural design criteria. Computers will be used more extensively. Application of Mathematical and scientific principles on a more advanced level will be woven into the fabric of each design module.

Students completing the two year Aviation Technology sequence will have mastered an integrated aeronautics curriculum that enhances the study of English, Mathematics, Science, and Technology courses with emphasis on preparing students for postsecondary education or training in an aviation related field. These courses provide students with the basic concepts underlying the technological impact of the aerospace age. Students will interact on-line with both local and global information networks as an important part of their studies. Aviation Technology II students will be able to function within FAA guidelines in jobs at airports and maintenance facilities.
