AVIA 380 Advanced Air Mobility (3 SH)
This course provides a survey of advanced air mobility (AAM), the next paradigm in the transportation of persons and cargo. AAM utilizes a transformative set of technologies and systems, primarily involving unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Although this course is intended for students who are preparing to be professional aviators in manned aircraft, a looming challenge is the integration of UAS with manned aircraft in the national airspace system (NAS). The course prepares students to assume positions of management and leadership in this process. Students will choose a particular UAS application, about which they will research the current state of technology and deployment––as well as future deployment, as enabled by technological and regulatory advances. Offered through Lancaster
AVIA 390 Aviation Maintenance Management (3 SH)
This course provides a survey of topics pertaining to pilot responsibilities regarding aircraft maintenance. It addresses these responsibilities and processes in three levels of the increasingly complex flight operations in which EMU aviation graduates will engage in the progression of their careers. It also prepares students for future responsibilities as managers and leaders in aviation enterprises in which aircraft maintenance will become part of their responsibilities. Students will perform a case study of an aircraft accident in which maintenance was a causal factor. Offered through Lancaster
