0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits AT 200 is the entry-level course in the Air Traffic Management (ATM) degree sequence. It is also the first of the courses required in the FAA's Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) program the FAA is using to meet ATC staffing requirements. This course provides students with a fundamental knowledge of the U.S. air traffic control system and develops content knowledge in the following areas: the Federal Aviation Administration, its mission, organization, and operation; the air traffic control career; navigational aids, current and future; airspace; communications; federal aviation regulations; ATC procedures; control tower operations; nonradar operations; radar operations; pilots' environment; and future air traffic control systems. The course also provides essential information that is useful for pilots and other aviation professionals.

0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits Air Traffic Management II gives the student an introduction to the manuals, procedures, maps, charts, and regulations used by pilots and air traffic controllers in the National Airspace System (NAS). Included is an examination of FAA Orders, the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), and Federal Air Regulations (FARs). Students will also acquire basic knowledge about SIDs, STARs, en route IFR charts, and instrument approaches. Search and rescue, special operations, NOTAMS, and teamwork in the ATC environment are also studied in this course. Prerequisite: AT 200.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course covers the basic air traffic control (ATC) procedures for instrument flight rules (IFR) in terminal ATC facilities in the National Airspace System (NAS). Knowledge and skill requirements for air traffic control specialists (ATCS) in the current ATC system are studied in the classroom and practiced in a realistic, performance-based laboratory environment. Duties and responsibilities of the Tracon air traffic controller are integrated into an understanding of how the total ATC system works. Classroom delivery is augmented by practical laboratory problems using an air traffic control simulation of terminal radar operations. Prerequisites: AT 200, AT 302.

1.00 - 2.50 Credits
3 Credits AT 315 is the air traffic control VFR Tower segment in the Air Traffic Management (ATM) degree sequence. This course provides students with a fundamental knowledge of VFR Tower terminal operations in the U.S. air traffic control system and develops content knowledge in the following areas: control tower equipment and operating positions; the airport traffic area; navigation aids; airspace; VFR traffic patterns; controller/pilot phraseology; aircraft taxi instructions; control of vehicle movement; interagency communications and intrafacility coordination; federal aviation regulations; notification and handling of emergency aircraft; flight progress strip marking; aircraft recognition and characteristics; limited weather observations; airport lighting systems; wake turbulence and its effects on arriving/departing aircraft; VFR and IFR ATC procedures; runway incursions; using ATIS; reporting RVR/RCR; determining prevailing visibility using visual reference; NOTAMs; and criteria for runway selection. The course also provides essential information that is useful for pilots and other aviation professionals. Prerequisites: AT 200, AT 302, AT 305.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course integrates the knowledge of air traffic control gained in previous air traffic control courses with an opportunity to actually "work" air trafficcontrol operating positions. Using a realistic air traffic control simulation, students issue instructions to aircraft, make hand-offs, coordinate with other controllers, solve aircraft confliction problems, and do other controller tasks. The ability to make "real-time"decisions, determine strategies for controlling aircraft, and work with a dynamic scenario are features unique to this learning experience. This course combines classroom discussion and group and team coordination with various forms of evaluation for course credit. Student competency in the performance phase of the course is determined by computer scoring. Prerequisites: AT 200, AT 302, AT 305.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course expands on the skills, knowledge, and abilities the student has acquired in previous ATC classes. AT 405 presents more demanding and complex traffic scenario requiring higher-level performance and decision-making skills and prepares the student for initial training in any ATC specialization. Students will also gain an appreciation for the challenges of implementing large-scale changes in the National Airspace System. Upon successful completion of this course, students will demonstrate the knowledge and technical aptitude required for entrylevel qualification as an air traffic control specialist. Prerequisites: AT 200, AT 302, AT 305, AT 401.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course introduces students to the non-radar procedures and minima prescribed in FAAH 7110.65 and builds on knowledge gained in prerequisite courses. Training includes the vertical, lateral, and longitudinal separation of aircraft in the departure, en route, and arrival phases of flight. Phraseology, strip marking, instrument/visual approaches, and the coordination procedures necessary to operate in an en route non-radar environment will be covered. Students will work a number of air traffic control scenarios and demonstrate higher-level performance and decisionmaking skills required for entry-level qualification as an air traffic control specialist. Prerequisites: AT 200, AT 302, AT 305, AT 401, AT 405.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits A survey course designed to provide a basic knowledge of electronics with application to avionics for the non-avionics major.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course is an introduction to simulator types, FAA regulations germane to simulators, and actual operation of different types of simulators. Types of display devices, computer languages, support systems, inspection techniques, and troubleshooting procedures will be offered in the classroom and laboratory environment. Corequisite: AEL 311, AEL 312, or permission of the department chair.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
1 Credit The student will assess and develop the personal and interpersonal dynamics and intellectual and social demands necessary to succeed in college. Time management, study skills, goal clarification, career concerns, and college resources are included in the course. Different aspects of careers in business will be discussed in depth. This course is available to freshmen only.
