3.00 Credits
Three hours per week. Prerequisite: AVS 301, junior status. Advanced studies of jet aircraft systems currently in use in commercial aviation, with emphasis on one specific type of transport category aircraft. The course will examine the design, integration, and functioning of system components along with turbine engine theory. Included will be mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and electronic systems. Also, an introduction to modern concepts in technology in the cockpit, including electronic flight control and navigation systems with cathode ray tube and light emitting diode displays (glass cockpits).
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours per week. Prerequisite: Junior status. The study of physiological organs and systems affected by human flight and discussion of critical physiological problems that can occur during flight. The course emphasizes the safety of airline operations and how aircrews can prevent and cope with physiological emergencies such as hypoxia, decompression, spatial disorientation, vestibular and visual illusions, fatigue and stress.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours per week. Prerequisite: Junior status; AVS 103; and PHYS 125. Additional advanced studies of jet aircraft systems currently in use in the air carrier industry focusing exclusively on one specific type of transport category aircraft. Students will cover in detail aircraft systems and procedures primarily through the medium of computer based training (CBT) using courseware obtained from the aircraft manufacturer.
-
2.00 Credits
Two hours per week. Prerequisite: AVS 401. Prepares a certified flight instructor to teach instrument training to student pilots. Using a student taught/instructor guided format, the student will practice teaching instrument flight control techniques, the ATC system, instrument regulations, IFR navigation, weather, physiology, communications, and overall instrument flight operations. The course prepares the student for the FAA Certified Flight Instructor - Instrument knowledge test.
-
1.00 Credits
Three hours per week. Pre- or co-requisite: AVS 404. Introduces students to the mechanics of aircraft systems and how to properly and effectively operate them.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours per week. Prerequisite: Senior status; AVS 404. The student will participate in advanced studies of aircraft systems in use on current generation (cutting edge) transport category aircraft. Topics will include glass cockpit, flight management systems, radar, aerodynamics, abnormal procedures and all systems relating to modern-day jet aircraft. The course familiarizes a student with the basic technical knowledge needed to be successful in traditional airline pilot training courses.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours lecture per week. BIOL100L is a required co-requisite. This course cannot be used as a prerequisite for any other Biology course. An introductory overview of the diversity and characteristics of life and living organisms. Structural and functional parameters as well as interactive relationships are emphasized.
-
0.00 Credits
Two hours laboratory per week. Required co-requisite for BIOL 100. An introduction to the scientific method and exploration.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week. An overview of the primary ecological concepts and how these apply to the problems facing the human species. Population, pollution, energy and man's effect on other species will be discussed. Field trips and quantitative techniques in ecology will be included.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week. An introduction to the study of birds, including their unique characteristics as well as their suitability for demonstrating such biological principles as adaptation, behavior and evolution. Emphasis will be placed on local species, and the two-hour session will include field trips, films and identification of study skins. Binoculars are required (8x or greater).
