| Resumen: | Scope and method of study. This study attempted to gain insight from the program coordinators in participating Airway Science institutions about the role of the Airway Science Program in meeting the work force needs of the Federal Aviation Administration. The problem on which this study focused arose from the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration has not adhered to the hiring goals for the Airway Science Program. Data was gathered through the use of a structured telephone interview of the program coordinators at the 32 participating institutions. This data collection technique was selected to allow a greater potential for the respondents to make more complete, open-ended responses. Findings and conclusions. The program coordinators feel that the Airway Science Program is extremely vital to the future of aviation in higher education. The most commonly recurring criticism of the Airway Science Program was the negligible hiring of Airway Science Program graduates by the Federal Aviation Administration. Curriculum restructuring was viewed with extreme favor by the respondent group. Parallel programs to the Airway Science Program are offered at most of the respondent institutions. These programs were found to be more popular than the Airway Science Program and to be serving Federal Aviation Administration work force needs envisioned for the Airway Science Program. It further appeared that institutions established Airway Science Programs to compete for program grant funds and then utilize their other programs to serve student needs. |
