Each year the Assessment Committee will two Aviation Core courses and one Flight Certification Course to undergo a more formal Course Review. This Course Review will ensure that the course is adequately teaching the outcomes and objectives provided to AABI. Creating such a schedule will ensure that the eight Aviation Core courses and four Flight Certification Courses are reviewed by the Assessment Committee every four years. The Instructor who was most recently assigned to teach the course will be required present a full report to the Assessment Committee to include the following: Syllabus Historical student enrollments Historical Grade Distributions List of all Assessment Techniques Samples of SEI’s Evidence of teaching and assessment of the AABI General Outcomes, AABI Core Outcomes and AABI Program Criteria Examples of high, medium and low grades on papers and homework The purpose of such an evaluation is to provide a more in-depth review and evaluation of the course, leveraging historical data and reviews assess the need for course changes and to strategize remedies. Capstone Projects Aviation 4500: Capstone is the culminating experience for graduating seniors within the Aviation Major. This course is project based with students participating as a group, to solve, or address, real-world aviation problems. The objective of the course is to leverage the aviation education students have received from CAS and applying it to a project that mimics assignments encountered on the job. Stage Check Review and FAA Written Examinations: (Used to assess Professional Pilot Specialization students) A Post-Stage Check review form will be required to be filed out by the evaluator and turned into the Director of Flight Education and Assessment Committee Project Manager at the completion of each Stage Check. This form will record data about the students’ performance during the oral and practical exams, as well as their score on the FAA written exam. It will also list any topic areas from the FAA written test and the Practical Test Standards in which the student was found to be deficient. This information will be evaluated year to view stage check completion rates and identify any trends in decreasing student proficiency rates so that appropriate modifications can be made to the Pilot Certification Courses.
