Integrating Engineering and Aviation Standards in Higher Education Curriculum

To develop a transferable plan for integrating industry standards into engineering and aeronautics programs, with a short-term goal of refining learning modules. It has the potential to serve as a model for other STEM institutions and improve learning outcomes at both undergraduate and graduate levels. At the same time, long-term goals focus on enhancing ongoing collaboration and knowledge-sharing with colleges, universities, and industry partners to improve the model curriculum and its impact on education continually.
