Aviation Management Program Curriculum Validation-Program Renewal Report

Introduction The Aviation Management Program (AM) is a two-year diploma program with a September entry date. The program combines business management and flight training designed to prepare graduates for entry into an aviation career. The management component of the program, delivered by RRC, prepares students for the business elements of the aviation industry through a blend of courses that includes communications, social sciences, computer applications, marketing, human resources, and accounting. In 2009, the Dean and Chair requested a Curriculum Validation-Program Renewal to address changes in the aviation management field since the program was first developed and offered in 2000. The intent of the Curriculum Validation process is to analyze the status of the program and to chart a course for program renewal. The process uses a structured format identifying the current college expectations, a description and vision for a desired future state, and a 5-year plan for creating the desired future state.

Curriculum Validation Deliverables: The Aviation Management Program Curriculum Validation process involved 7 interrelated deliverables:

1. Environmental Scan and Analysis of the key findings of similar programs across Canada.

2. Industry Occupational Analysis (DACUM) 3. Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart 4. Graduate Profile 5. Program Renewal Plan 6. A 5-year Program Renewal Plan 7. Final Report

Outcomes from the Deliverables:

1. Environmental Scan and Key Findings The Environmental Scan provides the faculty and chair with information about similar programs that are offered in Colleges and Universities locally and nationally. The Curriculum Validation facilitator gathered information on similar programs and trends influencing their development and direction. The information was gathered by the Curriculum Validation Facilitator through web sites, email and telephone contact. The scan gathered information under the following categories:

• Name of institution, location, contact person • Size of program • Credential offered • Program features • Curriculum Model • Curriculum Content • Student Assessment • Current and Coming Challenges • Curriculum Renewal • Partnerships

For the Aviation Management Program Curriculum Validation – Program Renewal, nine programs were scanned. They included: Institution Location Program Unique Characteristic Algonquin College

Key findings from the Environmental Scan Most Common Credential Awarded

Seven of the nine programs provide a 2 year diploma. Georgian College offers an advanced diploma and Seneca College provides an applied degree. In addition to the diploma, Red Deer College offers a concurrent management certificate and University of the Fraser Valley has certificate and degree programs in aviation as well as the diploma.

Partnership Arrangements

The majority of programs partner with one or more flight training schools to deliver the pilot training. Some of those schools provide ground school courses at the Flight Training Unit but most offer them at the academic institution. Georgian college has partnership agreements with Embry Riddle University in Florida, Loughbrough University in UK, and Griffiths University in Australia. Many of the schools are members of the Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC). Some are members of the Canadian Association of Aviation Colleges (CAAC).

Prerequisite Skills/Credential Requirements All of the nine scanned programs had the same basic requirements for entrance into their program. All required high school diplomas with English and a high level of Math. Two of the programs also required Physics while four others recommended Physics. One institution also recommended accounting and computer experience. All but one of the programs requires a Transport Canada Category 1 medical certificate (a non-flight program). Four of the programs require students to have a Private Pilot’s license or provide an opportunity to get that license upon entry into the program. Mount Royal University has an interview as an entrance requirement and Seneca College does admission testing.

Experiential Component

Only two of the programs have an experiential component to the program, Seneca College (1 - 14 week term, students have a choice of the summer term after 2nd year or the summer term after 3rd year) and Georgian College (3 separate 14 week work terms). Other schools will help students with part time or summer employment but do not have co-op or internship work terms. Many of the programs feature a wilderness survival course as does RRC’s.

4

Delivery Features

Delivery of the academic portion of the programs is done at the academic institution. Conestoga College delivers three days per week in the first year and 2 days in the second year to allow students the opportunity for more flight training options. This is similar to the RRC program. Confederation College has 2 full days of classes and 3 half days. The flight training schools deliver their program adhering to Transport Canada standards but go beyond those requirements in their training by making sure students are equipped to meet the challenges of being a pilot. Many schools have their own training curriculum to get students ready for their pilots’ licenses and ratings.

Unique content (courses) Course content is dependent upon whether the program is business or science oriented. Four of the programs are business diplomas, three are science diplomas, and two are 90% aviation courses. Conestoga College – Electrical Fundamentals, World Geography, Foundations of Writing, Student Success for Higher Learning Georgian College – Airport Management, Cargo Customs and Excise, Airline Management, Government and Aviation, Sociology, Statistics Mount Royal College – Calculus Selkirk College – College Composition Seneca College – Electricity Fundamentals, Fundamentals of Electronics, Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Flight Propulsion, Introductory French, Applied Research Methodology, Airport Planning University of the Fraser Valley – Fitness courses, Professional Report Writing

National Accreditation Body

The aviation programs are not nationally accredited but several colleges belong to a number of associations. The four main ones are the Air Transportation Association of Canada, Association of Canadian Community Colleges, Canadian Association of Aviation Colleges, Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. Red River College belongs to the Association of Canadian Community Colleges. We will be looking into membership of Air Transportation Association of Canada and Canadian Association of Aviation Colleges.

Challenges • A variety of challenges identified by program contacts include: Rising costs for the

students • Economic recession • Above two reasons are limiting enrolment in the program • Availability of pilot jobs is decreasing, although the industry experiences peaks and

valleys depending on the hiring practices of the two major airlines, Air Canada and West Jet

• Changing course curriculum to meet the changes in the industry • Filling student enrolment quotas • Poor quality of student applicants leading to attrition in the program • Rising operating costs for flight training units, especially for the colleges that own

their own fleet of airplanes and employ flight training instructors • Students losing their medical certificate during the program

Other Information Graduation rates in most programs range from 50% - 100% at the end of the program. Many programs have a summer term where students spend a majority of the summer flying to increase their required hours and to have an opportunity to complete their commercial license. At present, RRC’s graduation rate is very minimal (less than 10%) although the prospects are increasing as the new group of students seems more focused and more academically motivated than previous groups. Most programs deliver academic courses, including ground school, at the educational institution. Some deliver ground school and other aviation courses at the flight training school. Most programs have dedicated flight instructors on staff due to the flight portion being paid directly to the educational institution. In other programs, flight instructors are contracted by the college. This is the case for the RRC program.

2. Industry Occupational Analysis (DACUM) Chart The Industry Occupational Analysis using the DACUM process is a familiar component of the curriculum development process at Red River College and provides the program with a description of regional occupational needs. Included in the process is the identification of emerging and retiring industry trends. Craig Edwards and Sandra Sukhan facilitated the Aviation Management Program DACUM process on, December 3rd and 10th, 2009. Industry practitioners were asked to identify the major competencies and related skills required by entry-level workers in the aviation management field. The seven individuals who took part in this exercise represented a cross section of managers from the Manitoba aviation industry. The major change in the occupational analysis since the program was first developed in 2000 was the non inclusion of the competency to “fly a plane”. The DACUM participants discussed this competency at length and the majority determined that it was a desirable, but not absolutely necessary competency for aviation managers. The resulting Aviation Management Program DACUM identified the following emerging and retiring trends:

Emerging Industry Trends: • new technology –i.e. digital, glass cockpit, full motion simulators • manager experience - aircraft construction more important than field experience • increasing regulations • safety management systems (SMS) • crisis management • quality assurance - "out of box thinking" - efficiencies • need for structure - standard procedure • decision making - analytical thinking • need for succession planning - various position • self-marketing business • self-regulation • micro management in certain areas by Transport Canada • work smarter - synthesizing information • environmental impact of industry

Retiring industry trends: • steam gauges • decreased oversight from Transport Canada • rote thinking (following rule book) • seat-of-the-pants (pioneering) approach • individual thinking and decision-making • hierarchy of operations (fewer middle managers) • fewer "hands-on" skills

Please see the full DACUM chart in Appendix B.

3. Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart

The Curriculum Validation Facilitator (CVF) organized the first of three workshops with program faculty, Chair, and Academic Coordinator to review the expectations of industry represented in the DACUM. Craig Edwards, PCD Curriculum Consultant, facilitated this workshop on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, which provided a rare opportunity for the faculty to review the program in its entirety rather than the usual focus on only the specific courses taught. Through a detailed review of each competency and related skills and abilities identified by industry representatives in the DACUM, the faculty determined realistic learning goals for their program graduates considering the length of the program and resources available. The faculty agreed that all the DACUM competencies and related skills were important for success, but adjusted some of the skill ratings too considering the two-year time frame of the program. The outcome of this workshop is a composite chart that identifies the skills and abilities necessary for success as an Aviation Management graduate. The chart is the result of:

1) a thorough review of the competencies identified in the Industry Occupational Analysis (DACUM) Chart

2) the teaching faculty’s assessment of what would constitute realistic learning expectations within the program timeframe

3) the cross-referencing of the DACUM competencies with the College Wide Learning Outcomes (soft skills)

This chart serves as the focus for curriculum renewal and the basis for the development of the program’s Graduate Profile. Please see the full chart in Appendix C.

4. Graduate Profile

At the second faculty workshop, on Friday, February 19, 2010, the faculty developed a profile of their program graduates through the use of the Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart.

A Graduate Profile is a set of outcome statements that describe the essential and enduring knowledge, skills, and abilities expected by a graduate of a program. The Graduate Profile provides the focus for program and course revision to ensure that all learning outcomes and assessments are relevant to the expected learning of students in the program. The Graduate Profile also provides the basis for Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) at the program level. Please see the detailed Graduate Profile in Appendix D.

5. Program Renewal Vision and Goals Craig Edwards, PCD Curriculum Consultant facilitated the third and final workshop with the Aviation Management faculty on Thursday, May 6, 2010. This workshop included the Program Chair, the Academic Coordinator, and a couple of the Advisory Committee. The participants were encouraged to think “outside the box” and brainstormed ideas of what their program would look like in 5 years.

The vision and six goals identified at this session are articulated in the graphic below including dates for the duration of each goal. Please see the full set of Goals and related Action Items in Appendix E.

6. 5-Year Program Renewal Plan The program renewal plan is the result of translating the preceding five deliverables into a coherent plan for the renewal of the program. After reviewing the Vision, Goals, and Action items, the Academic Coordinator and Curriculum Validation Facilitator met with the Curriculum Consultant to confirm the wording and identify the sequence of the goals and the related action items within the 5-Year Renewal Plan. The goals and action items are included below. Please see the detailed chart for the Renewal Plan sequence and timeline in Appendix F. Goals and Action Items Facilitate interaction between aviation industry, students, and RRC

Program Features

as it is also commonly known, is a process in which individuals have the opportunity to obtain credit for college-level knowledge and skills gained outside the classroom and/or through other educational programs. It is a process which compares an individual’s prior learning gained from prior education, work and life experiences, and personal study to the learning outcomes in college courses.

• The individual demonstrates this learning through valid, rigorous assessment methods which follow College policies and procedures and ensure that credible learning has taken place. If the learning demonstrated is equivalent to what would normally be acquired through a formal course(s) in the chosen area of study, then credit is granted. College faculty are the “course” experts who assess the learning and determine the credit awarded for prior learning.

• Prior learning is any learning that an individual has acquired from formal education, work and /or volunteer experience, personal study and any other life activities (i.e. hobbies, travel, training programs, community life, etc.) that resulted in knowledge and

teaching the courses being challenged

• You will be expected to demonstrate learning that is equivalent to the basic learning outcomes required to pass the course

Grading and Transcription • Once the PLAR credits have been achieved, the Registrar will record your credits on your official transcript

• Your PLAR credit will be recorded as a grade when possible; otherwise a non-graded "CR" credit designation will be assigned

• A failed attempt at a prior learning assessment will not be recorded on your transcript

evaluation of acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes that are equivalent to the learning outcomes of a Confederation College course in order to award credit. Candidates must demonstrate that they have gained the requisite knowledge, skills and attitudes through non-post secondary experiences in order to use the PLAR process to challenge a course. The two forms of assessment are Challenge Process and Portfolio Assessment.

Definition of Challenge Process

A challenge process is a method of assessment other than portfolio, developed and evaluated by content-expert faculty to measure an individual’s knowledge, skills and attitudes against course learning outcomes. Examples:

• Written or oral examinations

• Essays, research papers, reports, diaries, logs, journals

• Interviews or role plays

• Projects, assignments or case studies

• Performance/skill demonstrations

• Product assessments or any combination of these processes

Portfolio Assessment:

A portfolio is a

involves the assessment and evaluation of acquired comparable knowledge and skills that match the learning outcomes of a Georgian College course. The focus of assessment is on evaluation of learning using a variety of techniques. Learning is assessed on an individual basis. The learning should be current and relevant to the program and have sufficient depth to meet college level learning. Prior learning can be assessed in a number of ways. Some methods include examination, performance observation, skills demonstration, interview and portfolio evaluation. Learners may obtain up to 75 percent of their program certificate or diploma courses and 50 percent for a college degree program through PLAR. A course is challenged using PLAR based on life and work experience gained through one or more of the following: employment, training programs, non-credit courses, travel, volunteer and community work or special skills and interests.

1. Recognition of prior learning should be based on demonstrated learning.

2. Recognition ofprior learning should be appropriate to the course or program in which it is accepted.

3. Recognition of prior learning should be consistent with the achievement levels required by the post-secondary program in which it is accepted.

4. Recognition of prior learning should be for learning that has a balance, appropriate to the subject, between theory and practical applications.

5. Assessment of prior learning by post-secondary institutions should be made by content specialists, with external advice as necessary.

At Mount Royal, demonstrated prior learning resulting from work, life and academic experiences may be assessed by any one of the following evaluation methods or some combination of them:

1. Formal examinations (including challenge examinations and standardized external

documentation necessary to support their RPL application.

If a PLAR process is approved, assessment may take the form of:

A portfolio; written summary of learning gained from informal learning experiences. Letters of attestation from employers and/or associates that support claim of competency. Photos and/or videos that demonstrate skills/ competence or products of learning. References from relevant professionals who support claims of skill mastery within the appropriate context. Annotated summary of group projects with clear delineation of individual skills mastered. Performance/ assessment reports from current employers. Essays, projects, assignments or other course appropriate evaluation strategies. Standardized tests: Paper & pencil or computerized tests may be used to assess theoretical or applied knowledge relevant to the College curricula being reviewed

or program offered by Selkirk College. The assessment of individuals' knowledge, skills and experience enables individuals to gain recognition and credit for what they already know and can do.

are expected to have learned by the end of the course. If you feel confident that you have met these requirements through your prior learning then you’re on the right track. You'll follow the plan that you and your faculty assessor created in Stage 2 of the process. Your assessment could included one or more of the following:

Challenge Exam

You may be asked to write an exam to test your knowledge. This method is most common when you are challenging a single course rather than a set of courses or program. Questions may be in one format or a combination of formats such as multiple choice, short answers or essays.

In Person Skill Demonstration

Your advisor may decide that a demonstration of your skills is the best method. This is more common when courses require human interaction (e.g. a foreign language or communications course) or the use of tools (e.g visual arts).

Portfolio This method is common when you are challenging a set of courses or a program. It may also be required to supplement either of the two above assessment methods. See the Portfolio Tutorial for a rich set of resources and examples to

Student assessment

• Academic courses are evaluated by a letter grade and flight training courses are pass/fail.

• Academic courses are evaluated by a letter grade and flight training courses are pass/fail.

• Courses are evaluated according to the course outlines in a number of ways depending on the course. It could be practical, hands-on, tests or exams, assignments, projects, research papers, oral presentations, etc.

• Student must achieve 70% in all flight courses and 60% in non-flight courses.

• Flight training courses are credit or non-credit with specific criteria and time frames for completion.

• All courses are evaluated on a normal grade scale.

• Co-op is a complete/ incomplete assessment. All students and employers are required to create a term report for all of their co-op terms.

Current and coming challenges

• The current challenges in the program are:

Recruiting enough students to register for the program to fill up the intake quota Encouraging students to complete the flight training portion of the program and so they can graduate

Providing enough aviation related content for the students

• The coming challenges include:

Working with industry to ensure the availability of jobs for graduates and career opportunities

Incorporating more Safety Management Systems content into the program to keep up with industry regulations

• Costs for the students are rising

• Because of the high costs associated with the flight training portion of Conestoga's General Arts and Science Aviation program, the recent downturn in the Canadian economic situation has negatively affected the program's enrolment this year. Although the number of applicants to the program remained about the same as previous years, the number of students accepting admittance offers was down slightly. Even with a few less students this year, the program is being conducted in exactly the same manner as it has in the past. Neither the program content nor industry changes (a pilot hiring downturn, as well) has affected the delivery of the program.

• Retaining students because they are not allowed to retake a course. If they don’t meet the academic or flight training components they are withdrawn from the program.

• Changing curriculum so that students have up to date content. Courses added and removed from the curriculum.

• Enrolment is the biggest challenge as they need to find students that meet their target market. Students tend to want to be pilots, mechanics, or military personnel. This is a non-flight program to attract more management students. There are issues this year in getting enough co-op placements for the number of students taking the co-op program. Generally about 50% of the students graduate on time as they need to make up courses or complete their co-op work term.

83

MOUNT ROYAL RED DEER SELKIRK SENECA U OF FV • Regular academic

assessment consistent with other university programs.

• Students are assessed by grade for each of their academic courses and by completing the requirements for their commercial license and IFR rating.

• Students must attain a C- in all University Arts and Sciences courses.

• A minimum of B- in all academic Aviation courses.

• A minimum of C in evaluated Flight or Simulator exercises in AVIA 100, 110, 200 or 210.

• A minimum of C+ in each final exam.

• All dual flight and simulator exercises must be passed.

• Aviation courses are accredited to a UFV letter grade

• Challenges include enrolment, program content and industry changes.

• The biggest challenge is recruiting students and getting the word out that the program exists. There is 20% student attrition in the program. Only about 20% of the students graduate on time. The majority will complete all requirements within a year after completion. Another challenge is getting the students to complete all requirements with their flight training school. Students will build hours by other means and thus won’t count towards program completion. They are not well supervised.

• Quantity and quality of student applicants

• Staying current with technology changes

• Funding to provide current industry-standard aircraft and simulators

• Finding industry experienced ATPL qualified flight instructors

• Increasing operational costs; e.g. fuel and insurance

• Some students lose their medical requirements during their time in the program and therefore cannot graduate. Getting industry to buy into the co-op work terms. The students are completing with other southern Ontario aviation programs. Trying to keep up with the industry changes in terms of regulations, emphasis on safety. Adding and deleting courses to keep in touch with what the industry is needing. Approximately 50% of the students that start the program do not finish it.

• The industry stays busy and requires new pilots.

• Enrollment can be a problem in the course.

84


Curriculum Renewal

• Curriculum is analyzed after each year to determine relevance and usefulness of courses. Instructors will check with each other to update content and prevent overlap of content.

• A program renewal is done every 5-8 years including industry DACUM and faculty workshops to develop a graduate profile, as well as identify a vision and goals for program renewal.

• The curriculum is reviewed annually following the standard college schedule and in consultation with the Program Advisory Committee.

• Curriculum review is annual, although every course is reviewed each semester. We have a PAC meeting twice annually (Program Advisory Council).

• A program review is done every three years for all courses at Confederation College.

• The majority of students are able to complete flight training requirements within 4 semesters but they are still evaluating the process.

• Belong to the following organizations:

o CAMC o ATAC, o CAAC, o CADA, o ACCC

• Ground school for year one is done on campus. Year two, it is at the Flight Centre. All General Arts and Science Aviation students regularly attend academic classes (3 days each week during Year 1 and 2 days each week during Year 2) at Conestoga’s main Doon campus and have full access to all of Conestoga’s student support and other services. In addition, while undertaking their training at WWFC (on the other 2 or3 days each week and during the intervening summer between Year 1 and Year 2) for Ground School courses, flight labs and in-flight training, students also have access to the various support services available at WWFC as well as those available at the College. Approximately 50% of the students in the General Arts and Science Aviation

• Use a state of the art simulator

• 75-100% of students graduate on time.

• English courses are completed on the college’s Castlegar campus

• All aviation courses are taught at the college’s Aviation Training Centre at the Castlegar airport. The students graduate with about 650 hours of classroom instruction, 250 hours of computer simulation training, 80-100 hours on an. FTD, and 200-225 hours of flight time. They complete with a Commercial Pilot’s License, a Group 1 Instrument Rating, and the IATRA written exam. We also encourage students to meet the 250 hours of flight time required to qualify for right seat entry on graduation.

• The number of graduates varies from year to year; there are no time extensions permitted. The program success rate (# of entries into Year One/# of graduates from Year Two) ranges from 75% to 95%.

• No flight training until after 2nd semester. Summers are registered academic semesters, either co-op or flight training. Flight training schedules are determined by the department.

• Ground school is taught at the flight training school and academic courses at UFV.

• Coastal Pacific teaches aviation beyond that required by Transport Canada.

• About 80% of the students graduate on time. Generally it takes 1 to 3 months after the final semester to complete all flight training requirements.

program complete that particular joint program. Most of these students achieve this goal within the two year period (6 academic terms) after the start of the program, but require both academic summer terms (after year 1 and after year 2) of concentrated flying to achieve their full slate of pilot certifications in order to graduate from the program.

There are usually two main factors that affect the student’s successful completion of the program: their ability to pay for the program‘s flight training requirements, and their aptitude and ability to learn to fly. Students who are unsuccessful with the flying portion of the program can transfer into the regular Conestoga General Arts and Science program and, subsequently, graduate from that program, provided that they fulfill all of the program’s academic requirements.

If the student encounters financial difficulties during the course of the program, they can also to choose to transfer into the regular General Arts and Science program. In addition, even though they have withdrawn from the College’s General Arts and Science Aviation program, should these
