Proposed NEW Undergraduate Track in Aviation


The following major paragraphs and subdivisions are in accordance with Suggested Guidelines
for the University Council on Academic Affairs (CAA)s Proposal Creation and Submissions, as
downloaded on 22 Sep 2006.
Executive Summary
The Department of Aviation in the College of Engineering wants to secure CAA approval to
offer a new track for the Bachelor of Science in Aviation. This proposal has been prepared in
response to the reorganization of Aviation curricula following the re-formation of the
Department of Aviation with the separation of the Aviation Program from the combined
Aerospace Engineering and Aviation Department in January 2005. Earlier, a Task Force on
Aviation appointed by the Dean then, James Williams, strongly recommended an autonomous
Department of Aviation and the establishment of both undergraduate and graduate programs in
Air Transportation Systems (ATS). That study noted a national and international need for
qualified professionals to work in the air transportation system. ATS graduates would fill a
critical need for people who know how to appropriately design the organization, do the systems
engineering, perform operations management, and implement the technological innovations
required to meet current and future demands. This need is distinctly different from the design of
new aircraft and the training of pilots; this unmet need to provide ATS specialists is believed to
be a principal cause of the troubled operation of current air transportation systems.
Further, this proposal is in support of the current Deans direction (Dr. Baeslack) to better align
the Aviation academic program with the Colleges mission, by providing instruction more
compatible with undergraduate engineering students. This program would have strong emphasis
on analysis, design, and engineering as it relates to Aviation. This new program will focus on
overall systems and operations engineering rather than the design of component products or
processes. Industrial and systems engineering serves as a core disciplinary model for this
program; that relationship is not unlike the one between mechanical and aerospace engineering.
However, aviation is the most heavily regulated industry in the world. Our students also need to
be grounded in the federal regulatory process that affects design, manufacturing, repair, and
personnel certification as well as the economic and policy issues that strongly influence
Aviation. Finally, the ATS track being proposed here is being developed to meet the
requirements for possible ABET (Accrediting Board of Engineering and Technology) accrediting
in Systems Engineering.
The proposed curriculum also provides the analysis and design foundation for our
complementary proposal to establish a graduate program of study for the M.S. in Air
Transportation Systems. A separate and related Graduate Program proposal has been prepared
and is being submitted in parallel to this undergraduate proposal. Courses in the undergraduate
program may eventually become prerequisites for graduate courses, and some of the proposed
upper-level undergraduate courses may be used as technical electives in graduate programs in
this or other departments.

Department of Aviation

College of Engineering

An important link between the undergraduate and graduate programs will be the faculty. All
present tenured / tenure track faculty (and all future tenure track faculty will) have engineering
degrees. The current faculty in the Aviation Department consists of 6 full time faculty (incl. 2
Lecturers). The department has already been awarded one additional faculty position by the
College to support the staffing of our proposed M.S. program (being separately submitted) and a
new track in the undergraduate level (this proposal). This undergraduate track will be in Air
Transportation Systems. Accordingly, new faculty additions will be hired into areas that will
contribute to both the BS and MS programs. The recruiting for the one approved new faculty
member has already begun. With the total number of anticipated faculty available being 7, if
initially (on an interim basis) each taught 2-3 graduate courses per year, the basic curriculum
needs would be met. As the program attracts students and funded research support, faculty loads
will be adjusted accordingly. Normal faculty assignments in undergraduate course teaching and
research are compatible with the faculty that have been planned for and budgeted.

Corollary Issues with Implementation


The rationale for this proposal, along with discussion of collegiate aviation programs at other
institutions is presented in the body of our proposal and is not repeated here.

Effect on Constituencies

A track in ATS fills a need not found elsewhere, either in collegiate aviation programs or
in engineering curricula. It should therefore enhance the reputation of OSUs Aviation
program as providing national leadership in this academic area. Collegiate aviation
programs are not presently part of the ABET structure. So, our existing tracks for pilots
and managers do not presently impact, positively or negatively, the Colleges
accreditation process. The Department plan and the preliminary evaluation of CCAA are
consistent in planning for ABET accreditation of the ATS track as an engineering
curriculum from the very outset. We have endeavored to do that in the materials
presented.
Historically, ABET accrediting was not appropriate for aviation programs. The principal
concern ABET had was who could serve as the national authority on the engineering
content of this field. Then as today, non-engineering collegiate aviation programs were
being accredited by the Council on Aviation Accreditation (recently renamed the
Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI)) and there was no single engineeringbased authority. However, since that time several new initiatives related to air
transportation systems engineering have emerged in professional societies. In particular,
some from within the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) align
extremely well with our current proposal (as further explained below).
In the preparation of the current proposal, the faculty anticipated eventual ABET
accreditation. We recognized the functional similarity between the curriculum that we are
proposing and the current Industrial and Systems Engineering curriculum, which is
accredited, and built our curriculum along the lines of the existing ISE bingo sheet for

Department of Aviation

College of Engineering

Industrial and Systems Engineering undergraduates. Course topics for the air
transportation systems track, however, are specific to aviation.
Faculty input was organized through the formation of an Undergraduate Studies
Committee, which functioned over the last year and a half for the purpose of reviewing
national trends and problem areas and defining critical areas of faculty expertise.
Potential new courses that could be offered by existing faculty that would support the
new track in ATS were identified, as well as new courses which would require original
development. One example of this is an engineering content course in Aircraft
Manufacturing, which is not offered in any US university There was unanimous
agreement of the full faculty to reorganize our College of Engineering tracks. The Human
Factors track was eliminated because of a long-term lack of student enrollment.
We also recognized that much of component engineering assumes design in compliance
with a given technical specification. Our design emphasis is on a larger issue: how to
translate primitive customer needs into the appropriate technical design specifications
that component designers expect to begin their work. Aviation is not only heavily
regulated, it requires enormous capital outlays and substantial risks for investors. For
example, The Economist (13 Jan 2007) in reviewing John Newhouses text (published by
Knopf) on Boeing versus Airbus: The Inside Story of the Greatest International
Competition in Business, states that The struggle over the world market makes for
epic narrative there is nothing quite like it in global business Only big oil comes
close. In the civil aircraft business make one bad bet, or suffer a single flop, and
you have to live with the consequences for years. Further, Newhouse (2007) states Nor
is it lost on various government agencies that the aircraft industry operates at the cutting
edge of more high technologies than any other and its product historically earns more
foreign exchange than any other single U. S. export. (p. 214)

Specific Course Structure Related to ABET Accreditation


A bingo sheet was prepared which reflected the 8 new recommended courses in the
ATS track. Courses were also added in MSE and Statistics to strengthen the basic
engineering and science cores. Also, because of the difference in curricular needs of
management and professional pilot tracks, a new version of AVN 310 will now also be
offered ( Designation will be 310.02 for Aviation Management majors). This will be
more suitable to students who have no intention of learning to fly but need the topical
content of AV 310.01 for pilots. Students taking the ATS track may take either version.
As the question of content as it relates to eventual ABET accreditation is critical, Table 1
is an aid to understanding the relative organization of the propose ATS curriculum and
that for ISE.
The first year course experience is the same for all students in the College,
including those now enrolled in the two existing Aviation tracks, so those courses
are not shown in the table.

Department of Aviation

College of Engineering

The second year curriculum is very similar with a few exceptions. We propose
CSE 230 instead of ME 420 because air transportation systems involves software
intensive systems (like avionics) and our students have less need for the content
of ME 420. Also, while ISE students take ISE 311 Manufacturing Engineering in
their second year, we would prefer to offer a new course, AVN 570 Influences on
Aircraft Production . Our emphasis is on WHY aircraft get designed the way they
do (rather than how that is done). Much of component engineering assumes
design in compliance with a given technical specification. Our emphasis is on
how to translate primitive customer needs into the technical design specifications
component designers expect to begin their work (see Norris, Thomas, Wagner,
and Forbes (2005), Boeing 787 Dreamliner Flying Redefined, Aerospace
Technical Publications International, Perth, Australia).
The third and fourth years are the upper level, analysis and design courses that
typify the engineering content of a specialty area within engineering. Table 1
shows how we have drawn upon and paralleled the industrial engineering
curriculum. Both programs have an introductory level course for all their majors,
although Aviation offers AVN 300 to the University community at large, meeting
a need for basic information on aircraft and flight. As with other curricula, many
students do not know the content and career potential of Aviation and Air
Transportation until after they arrive at OSU.

Following is some specific discussion of the content of courses in Table 1. While ISEs
take Accounting 501 as a fundamental underpinning to later coursework (e.g. engineering
economics: assessment of capital outlays, etc.), AVN 550 introduces all aviation majors
to business concepts as they occur in aviation (e.g., RASM/CASM revenue / cost per
aviation seat mile). ISE Operations Research is a three quarter sequence in history,
methods, and field application. AAE 200 and 201 are the first two courses in the
Aeronautical Engineering sequence, and ALL engineering students in Aviation take these
courses now: they are required of engineering students whether they are in the aircraft
systems track (professional pilots) or the management track (airline / airport). The ATS
track will simply impose that same requirement on engineering students.
Similarly, all aviation students take AVN 310 since it covers the fundamentals of flight
operations in the National Airspace System (NAS). While ISE emphasizes work
physiology and biomechanics in ISE 503, AVN 540 gives little attention to that topic
while more broadly covering human factors issues in aviation as a whole (in the context
of operations, maintenance, and management). ISE 573 covers Cognitive Engineering,
deepening substantially what is covered briefly in AVN 540, Aviation finds it necessary
to include a fundamental course on Aviation Safety (AVN 560) instead. So AVN 540
and 560 are Aviations parallels to ISE 503 & 573, albeit quite different in content. While
ISE allows a technical elective, Aviation requires Physics 133, since weather phenomena
are largely the result of thermal dynamics, and wave theory applies in several contexts.
Production System Design is another 3 course sequence in ISE. While the sequence may
not be apparent from the titles, the Aviation equivalent is: AVN 520, AVN 674, and
AVN 590. AVN 520 covers the communications, navigation, and surveillance techniques

Department of Aviation

College of Engineering

that provide the infrastructure for operations in the NAS. AVN 674 addresses one of the
major system constraints on throughput and capacity: airport design and operation. AVN
590 and 591 then address the practices and options air carriers have to optimize
operations, this includes not simply current constrained optimization, but the evaluation
of propose alternatives such as Free Flight as a means to fly direct rather than on the
conventional airways.
While there is no direct equivalent to ISE 517 Materials Handling, AVN 591 draws on
similar analytic techniques, but applies them in a very different context, with different
parameters and constraints. CE 570 is meant to equip ATS students with an appreciation
for multi-modal transportation system issues and analysis techniques adopted in these
other applications contexts with which aviation interfaces. Again, we do not offer an
equivalent to ISE Project Management. However, we would encourage students to
consider that course as a recommended technical elective, since it complements what we
offer and adds to that we want our students to know.
ISE 608.01 and .02 is another two quarter sequence that is roughly equivalent to what we
hope to achieve with AVN 570 and AVN 575. AVN 575 is more focused on what must
be done to capture and translate primitive industry needs statements into specific
technical design specifications (what component engineers could then use to design
airplanes or their component parts). AVN 570 then treats the additional economic,
regulatory, and policy issues that influence why airplanes get designed, assembled, and
supported (by manufacturers) the way they do.
Since no equivalent to ISE 610 is offered, it is recommended as another technical
elective, particularly for anyone expecting to do empirical studies of proposed operational
changes. AVN 597 is required of ATS students to bring together all of the preceding
coursework into a capstone design project that focuses on the integration and interaction
among aviation system components. Hopefully, this shows the focus and forward looking
orientation of what we have proposed, as reflected in more detail in the course syllabi.
Given that this is a dynamic area of study, we expect faculty to supplement existing texts
with other materials reflecting their professional and technical experience, all of whom
do have experience in the aviation industry as well as having appropriate academic
credentials.

General Curriculum Organization Related to ABET Accreditation


Three of our four tenured faculty have served as Dept. Chairs during ABET accreditation
of the Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering program. They had a major role in
contributing to the design and refinement of this proposal. We have studied the ABET
Policies and Procedures Manual as well as the Criteria for Accediting Engineering
Programs.
It will simply be noted here that all programs in (non-engineering) aviation curricula are
evaluated by the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI). In general, ABETs

Department of Aviation

College of Engineering

procedures appear similar in nature. Both organizations are members of the Council on
Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). However, the ABET standards for science,
analysis, and design courses differ, since AABI is for non-engineering aviation programs.
The presently proposed curriculum is designed to largely satisfy the requirements for
analysis and design courses (as well as general education requirements). However,
further refinements in specific course syllabi may be required as our self-study for ABET
accreditation matures. There is a point to be made about the emergence of Air
Transportation Systems as a specific discipline in aerospace industrial and professional
activity. In recent years, there has been the addition of 13 technical committees to the
approximately 60 technical committees in the American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics (AIAA). Faculty members have been actively engaged in one of these, the
Aviation Operations Technical Committee (AOTC) which interacts strongly and
consistently with the Air Transportation TC. Dr. Chubb serves as a reviewer for and the
AOTC representative to the AIAA Journal of Aircraft.
This initiative to establish an Air Transportation Systems program should have no major
impact on staff, other than the student advisor, who would be able to offer engineering
students a new option better aligned with their career interests.
Table 2 shows the present allocation of courses to faculty and staff, the bottom portion
indicating which specific faculty will be assigned additional teaching duties for the
proposed curriculum. The graduate program will require some further adjustments in
loading but those assignments are separately addressed in that proposal, which is being
submitted independent of this one. However, faculty loading across both programs has
been, is, and will continue to be considered as we move forward. For example, while it
was necessary to offer AVN 540 twice per year when our enrollment peaked at 520
students, it appears that one offering would be sufficient for our current and near term
anticipated enrollment. (Note that in Table 1 AVN 694 A is Air Transportation Systems Demand & Supply Analysis and AVN 694B is Research and Analysis Methods in Air
Transportation Systems. Both are offered now as technical electives in anticipation of the
new curriculum and graduate program.)

Internal Programmatic Changes

No changes are envisioned, apart from hiring faculty on existing allocated budget
authorizations, and even then no new faculty are required to start offering the
undergraduate courses proposed here. Realignment of present faculty loads will
accommodate all proposed courses. We are presently seeking to fill a position previously
vacated and have college approval to fill another position if a suitable candidate is found.
Six of the 8 proposed courses can be accommodated within the workload constraints
existing faculty commitments. Three courses (AVN 590, AVN 591, and AVN 610) are
being accepted by the assigned faculty (Taneja and Lee) as an additional teaching load.
Should new faculty not be found in a timely fashion, additional adjustments in load could
be made to accommodate these two courses and reduce this temporary extra load. All the

College of Engineering

proposed courses are within the academic capabilities of current faculty, who individually
prepared the course syllabi.

Affect on Those Outside the Dept.

We see no negative impact on programs outside the department. While Civil Engineering
570, Transportation Systems Analysis which will be a required part of the proposed new
track / concentration, this track may in fact attract freshman engineering students into this
program that might have otherwise chosen some other major within the college. We hope
to recruit students with an interest in Aviation who would not normally consider a
traditional engineering degree, students attracted to a new and different technical with
greater emphasis on a mix of technical, operationally oriented content. Clearly,
Aviations willingness to teach AVN / CE 674 as a jointly listed course does offer
students in Civil Engineering an elective option that has not been available for a number
of years but may still be of interest if offered again.

Overlap with Other Units

As just mentioned, one of the proposed courses (AVN 674) is to be joint listed with civil
engineering the course on Airport Planning, Design, and Development. While a course
on simulation is also proposed, its emphasis is on aviation applications, not simulation in
general the emphasis is on analysis of aviation operations and maintenance activities.
Since our original proposal submission, Industrial, Welding, and Systems Engineering
(IWSE) has expressed interest in working with us in the development of the new,
proposed course on aircraft manufacturing (AVN 570). They may also have interest in
other possible joint ventures, such as future technical electives on Aviation Quality
Control and Assurance, Project Planning and Management, and other courses of mutual
interest.

Concurrence of Other Units

Faculty in civil engineering have already supported the teaching of the Airport Planning
course if offered as AV 694 this coming Winter Quarter. The Chair of IWSE proposed
giving us assistance with developing AVN 570 and proposed the title we have now
assigned, until a revised syllabus is prepared as we develop this course further.

Process Prior to Submission to CAA

This proposal was reviewed and approved by the faculty of the department, and has been
shown to student groups (AHP and Flight Team members) and representative alumni
(professional pilots, airport managers, etc.), all of whom have reacted favorably since the
Aviation Task Forces initial recommendations were shared with these same groups.

Department of Aviation

11

College of Engineering

A. Title of Major: Aviation

B. Title of Proposed NEW Track: Air Transportation Systems

C. Rationale for Proposal Initiation


Aviation eliminated the Human Factors track / area of concentration due to low
enrollment and the need for graduate education in this specialty area, when Aviation at
present has no graduate program and Industrial, Welding, and Systems Engineering
already has a Human Factors program certified by the Ergonomics and Human Factors
Society.
The Aviation Task Force established by Dean Williams not only recommended Aviation
again be made a separate and independent program, but that same Task Force
recommended the establishment of this proposed new track / concentration in Air
Transportation Systems. This was predicated on NASA Langleys having looked for such
a program and not finding one anywhere in the United States. Dr. Holmes concept of this
kind of program was presented in a previous edition of the University Aviation
Associations (UAA) Newletter (Vol. 30, No. 2 Spring 2006) and is included as
Attachment 5.
Also, Dean Baeslack asked that the department take steps to attract more engineering
students into the Aviation program and better align the curriculum to the vision and
mission of the college. This proposal is the first step in that process.

D. Relation to Mission of the Department and College


College Mission: To educate professionals in engineering and architecture, and to create
and disseminate knowledge and technology, and to provide innovative solutions to
societal problems.
Air Transportation Systems provides a vital service to the global economy, a major
national resource affecting balance of trade, and a major employment opportunity in both
the state and the nation. While many engineering disciplines contribute to design of
component subsystems (aircraft, engines, airport facilities, etc.), the emphasis in this
track will be on the efficiency and effectiveness of the overall system as a whole, to
include its interface to other parts of the intermodal transportation network.
Departments Mission:
The mission of The Ohio State University Department of Aviation is to
serve the University's teaching, research and public service missions as

Department of Aviation

12

College of Engineering

a nationally and internationally recognized interdisciplinary university


aviation program.
1. We will provide a progressive learning experience for students of diverse
backgrounds to lead, develop, and operate tomorrow's global aviation system with
baccalaureate and graduate degree programs.
2. We will assist practicing professionals to improve their
effectiveness in a dynamic aviation industry.
3. We will conduct research leading to progressive concepts for
expanding aviation applications, eliminating barriers to the growth of
aviation, and advancing aviation safety and efficiency.
4. We will operate superior facilities and associated services to fulfill
and enhance all three aspects of the Department's mission (teaching,
research, and public service).

E. Proposed Implementation Date: Autumn 2007, with selected courses being introduced as
early as WI 07.

F. Responsible and Supportive Departments: Aviation will be responsible for this track, and
while students may take related electives, support is not requested from other
departments or programs

H. Details Regarding Source of Students and Estimated Numbers (FTE) for the Next Four
Years
While Aviation at Ohio State has attracted students from literally across the world, the major
percentage of our students come from Central Ohio, Western New York and Pennsylvania,
and Eastern Indiana. Students North of us tend to go to Kent State or Bowling Green, and

Prior surveys of our students indicated that many did not hear about OSUs Aviation program
until after they arrived on campus. Alpha Eta Rho and the OSU Flight Team have both been
encouraged to increase their efforts during Welcome Week to attract new first quarter
freshman into the Aviation program, and both have done so.
The Dean has asked that increasing attention be given to attracting more engineering students
into the Aviation program. Promotional brochures have been revised and recruiting efforts
are being changed to address that issue. We believe this proposed concentration will help
achieve the objective of attracting more engineering students.
However, internal to the program, nearly half of all entering students think they want to be
professional pilots. Once they learn the cost and discipline required to complete the series of
required Aviation Flight Laboratories, half of those students migrate into another area of
concentration. Right now, the only option is Aviation Management. The proposed new track
would provide yet another option.

The current downturn reflected in these numbers is affected by a: 1) general decline in OSU
enrollment, and 2) depressed aviation industry. The aviation industry has begun to expand,
although further airline consolidation / mergers are anticipated. The Air Transport
Association has already expressed its concern over the potential for seeing a large increase in
Very Light Jets (VLJs), with a subsequent impact on the Air Traffic Management system.
The introduction of VLJs later this year will fuel at least two new air taxi startups, and it is
estimated that 1,000 aircraft are needed by each to reach an economic break even point.
Therefore, demands for professional pilots and many other kinds of aviation professionals to
support that surge, are anticipated. Additionally, the introduction of Uninhabited Aerial
Systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System (NAS) as Air Force Guard Units, the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and various police agencies are attracted to using
this new class of aviation vehicle.

I. Availability of the Aviation Major at Other Universities


The University Aviation Association (UAA) represents 115 collegiate aviation programs, in
this country, in Canada, and in other parts of the world. Aviation programs exist at two other
Big Ten institutions: Purdue University and the University of Illinois. Purdues program is
offered in the School of Technology which has strong ties to the College of Engineering in
various research efforts. At the University of Illinois, the program is operated in a separate
Aviation Institute, the equivalent of a college, offers a Masters degree in Human Factors, is
world renowned for its research in Aviation Psychology and Human Factors Engineering,
and has ties with both the Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering Departments
as well as Psychology. The largest collegiate aviation programs are at Embry Riddle
Aeronautical University (ERAU which has Daytona Beach, FL and Prescott, AZ campuses,
as well as a world-wide Extension Program), the College of Aviation at the University of
North Dakota, and the College of Aviation at Western Michigan University. Dr. Holbrook
served on the Board of Trustees for ERAU.
No one has the kind of ATS program proposed here. Its closest parallels are at MIT in the
US and Cranfield in the UK. The need for the program proposed here was identified and
suggested by Dr. Bruce J, Holmes of NASA Langley Research Center while serving on Dean
Williams Aviation Task Force. His definition of Air Transportation Systems appeared in a
recent issue of UAAs Collegiate Aviation News (Spring 2006) and is attached (Attachment
5). Dr. Holmes organization has previously sponsored a number of NASA funded research
efforts completed by both the Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering and the Aviation
Departments. OSUs offering an ATS track would therefore represent a leadership position in
the community Collegiate Aviation educators, a role we have played many times in the past.

J. Impact on Facilities, Faculty, and Support Services


a. Facilities Impact:
Aviation currently uses Room 201 in the Aviation Building for most of its classes;
when time / scheduling conflicts occur, Room 200 is also used. Both rooms are open

Department of Aviation

College of Engineering

(i.e. unused) during portions of the day, as are adjacent classrooms. It is anticipated
that these classrooms will suffice, and at most, one additional classroom may be
needed (beyond 200 & 201) for some new classes if they are to be scheduled
concurrent with existing classes.
While OSUs Department of Aviation also operates the OSU Airport under Part 139
of the Federal Aviation Regulations, no changes to the airport are required to support
this proposed area of concentration. However, the airport will serve as a suitable
laboratory for related studies, analyses, and research.
b. Faculty Impact:
Existing faculty can handle this load. With the addition of only one new faculty
member (already authorized by the Dean), even the minor porposed overload of 3
courses disappears. When Aerospace Engineering became a separate department, one
of their faculty requested transfer to Aviation (Dr. York) and has been teaching a
variety of optional, elective courses. In this proposal, he will instead teach three of the
courses in the new proposed track. We have recently hired one new faculty member
(Dr. Lee, hired on a retiring faculty members positionDr. Jensen). However, with
the Deans permission, we are already in the process of hiring not one, but two new
faculty members, not only to support this new area of concentration but a graduate
program we plan to propose as well, but which will be proposed separately. Other
faculty members will be sought as current faculty retire (e.g., Drs. Chubb, Gregorek,
and York, who are eligible and may retire in the next few years).
c. Support Services Impact:
There is no envisioned need for special or additional support services.

K. Estimated Total Costs Above Current Level of Operation for Next Four Years
Although the courses will be allocated to a number of existing as well as new faculty
members, it is estimated that the incremental load is the equivalent of one assistant professor.

Aviation Department
The Ohio State University
Description of Undergraduate Programs
The programs of study being offered in the Aviation Department offer the prospective student
choices that allow a range of educational opportunities that prepare the graduate to enter todays
employment market, while satisfying personal goals for a sound education. The programs allow
concentration in Aircraft Operations (Professional Pilot), Aviation Management, and Air
Transportation Systems
The student may study in three colleges: Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), Fisher College
of Business (CoB) and the College of Engineering (CoE). All programs are incorporated in
(four year) study which results in Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degrees. The
foundation for each program rests on the basic, core degree requirements of the college.
Programs in SBS emphasize a broad education within the requirements set down for all the
Colleges of the Arts and Sciences. They draw upon the full tool kit of the modern-day social
and behavioral sciences (including experimental, observational, survey, interpretive, game
theoretic, and statistical methods of analysis) to study people, groups, and their institutions in the
United States and other countries. SBS majors develop the analytical and communication skills
and the knowledge that enable them to address issues that also will serve them well in a variety
of careers, including work in both the private and public sectors, as well as further training.
The baccalaureate program in the Fisher College of Business provides quality, nation-ally
recognized opportunities for students to develop the knowledge, skills, and global perspectives to
be effective leaders in business, government, and other organizations. The program also provides
a strong foundation for graduate or professional study.
Programs in the College of Engineering have a number of educational goals; they are based in
science and engineering. They are described as follows. Integrating strong engineering
education and research programs into all aspects of the College of Engineering continues to be
our commitment. This effort is clearly recognized by our industry partners, who fund research in
our laboratories and then recruit and hire our students. We continually strengthen our traditional
engineering programs while investing in emerging fields, thereby preparing our students for the
workforce of the future. Within the framework of the college degree programs, students may
specialize in the following concentrations:

Description of Programs of Study,


College of Engineering
College Course Framework:
All programs of study in the College of Engineering share a common grouping of courses that
comprise approximately 150 credits of the total of 190 credits for the degree. That common
grouping of courses includes 87 credits of Freshman Engineering courses, mathematics, physics
and chemistry and other basic engineering courses common to engineering curricula. There is
also a block of about 30 credits in Aviation courses which are common and provide the
foundation in topics such as the National Aviation System, Introduction to Aircraft Operation
and Performance, Project Management, Human Factors, and Aviation Safety. There are 38
credits of General Education Curriculum (GEC) requirements. All graduates receive the B.S in
Aviation from the College of Engineering
Aircraft Operations (Professional Pilot Track): (40 credits of specialization)
Students may choose to participate in OSUs quality flight education program, which is the
professional pilot track. For those students planning on becoming professional pilots, and who
wish to complement their flight education with a general engineering education, the Aircraft
Operations program of study through the College of Engineering provides this solid foundation.
Graduates are FAA certificated commercial pilots with a multi-engine rating or a flight instructor
certificate, and have the additional advantage of a general engineering education.
Aviation Management: (40 credits of specialization)
The Aviation Management Program in the College of Engineering offers a Management
perspective to the coordination of the Physical and Capital resources that make up the Aviation
infrastructure. The analysis and calculation skills of an Engineering education is an ongoing
need for an infrastructure that is constantly evolving and growing.
Air Transportation Systems: (40 credits of specialization)
The proposed Air Transportation Systems track is designed to meet the needs of aerospace
industry operators and manufacturers of aircraft. Emphasis is placed on the application of
engineering theory to the particular demands of the aviation industry, such as detailed knowledge
of commercial airplanes including preliminary layout and design, structures as they relate to
unique manufacturing processes and life-cycle, systems integration and vehicle certification.
The Air Transportation Systems track will focus on the analysis and design of interacting
elements of the National Airspace System (NAS): synthesis and integration of the vehicle into
the multi-aircraft operating system (commercial and military) in order to suggest the optimal
Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS). This differentiates the program from
aerospace engineering where emphasis is placed on detailed analysis of vehicle components.
The Air Transportation Systems track will take the view that the knowledge, understanding and
skills necessary for the practice of aircraft design and evaluation are best acquired through
interdisciplinary teaching (in the broader sense) and demanding application, rather than through
a systematic series of individually assessed modules of analysis. The program will be designed to

Systems). Also noted are the areas where replacements will be needed as
current faculty retire.
All students in this engineering-oriented track must take either AVN 310 or AVN 310-M (not
both); AVN 310 is an existing course and a required pre-requisite to AVN 341. AVN 310-M is a
proposed new version of this course and will NOT satisfy the pre-requisite requirement for AVN
341 and the Aviation Flight Laboratory (AFL) sequence.
Also, all students in this track are required to take Civil Engineering 570, Transportation Systems
Analysis, which provides the over-arching principles used in analyzing all of the varied multimodal transportation systems. The rest of the curriculum then focuses specifically on air
transportation systems analyses as a special case of the more general topic.
AVN 310.01 (5) Aircraft Operations and Performance
Flight fundamentals, aircraft operation and performance, aviation weather, and Federal Aviation
Regulations are studied in this intensive, FAA approved, Private Pilot Ground School course to
provide the foundation required to begin the Academic Flight Laboratory (AFL) sequence,
starting with AVN 341. AVN 310 is a comprehensive class that also prepares the student for the
FAA Private Pilot written exam, and is the first step towards becoming a pilot (for which oral
and practical exams are also required).
AVN 310.02 (5) Aircraft Operations and Performance
This course provides fundamental knowledge on aircraft components, operation, navigation and
regulations oriented for future air transportation industry professionals who do not plan to
become pilots. Knowledge of the National Airspace System, airplane operations, Federal
