Integrating Engineering and Aviation Standards in Higher Education Curriculum

PI Leila Halawi

This project aims to develop a transferable plan for integrating industry standards into engineering and aeronautics programs, with a short-term goal of refining learning modules. It has the potential to serve as a model for other STEM institutions and improve learning outcomes at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

This proposal aims to accomplish three broad yet related objectives: (1) Create two customizable educational modules for three targeted courses: a) Two undergraduate in engineering; b) One graduate in aeronautics; (2) Evaluate the student learning outcomes through different stakeholders including university advisory/industry board, and subject matter experts across our campuses; and (3) Develop and offer a model curriculum suitable for other colleges and universities to use in teaching and integration of standards across the curriculum, leading to certifications.
