13 courses with the subject AVIA, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
This course provides an introduction to, and survey of, the field of aeronautics. It includes a study of the history and trends of aerospace activity, including airline operations, military operations, and general aviation. Each student authors a paper and oral presentation based on their research of a particular piloting vocation. Offered through Lancaster
The objective of this course is to provide students with sufficient background knowledge in aircraft systems and their operation, as required by various aviation occupations. This course involves a comprehensive study of aircraft systems and components at the technical level. Areas of study include: aircraft electrical systems; piston engine ignition systems; turbine aircraft ignition systems and operations; aircraft hydraulic and pneumatic systems; aircraft fuel systems; aircraft propellers and systems; aircraft pressurization and environmental systems; ice and rain control systems; fire protection systems. Offered through Lancaster
This course provides students with an understanding of aviation weather theory as it applies to flight operations. As future aviation professionals, students will learn how pilots, dispatchers, air traffic controllers and others access and utilize aviation weather information. In addition, the available aviation products will be discussed as applies to flight planning, en route weather decisions, and avoidance of weather hazards. This course fulfills an EMU Core LOM-Aviation requirement.
This course provides a study of applied fluid mechanics and aircraft aerodynamic behavior. It also reviews the mechanics and performance of turbine and reciprocating aircraft engines. Exercises in aircraft performance problems are conducted, and a group research project on environmental sustainability in aviation is accomplished.
This course is a balanced overview of aviation safety and promotes a value system of regulatory compliance and the nurture of an organizational safety culture driven by ethical leadership. The course includes risk management, accident case studies, principles of accident investigation, the nature of accident error chains, voluntary safety programs, human factors, and an introduction to the Safety Management System (SMS). It imparts practical skills that are immediately useful to the aviation student, as well as a foundation for future safety leadership in aviation organizations.
This course examines the evolution of federal civil aviation regulations in the United States. Students will examine the past and present problems prompting regulation of the industry, the resultant safety, legislation, airport development, funding legislation and international aviation legislation. Students will study Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), previously called the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR); the application of 14 CFR Parts 1, 61, 91, 141, NTSB Part 830 and various other 14 CFR Parts. A discussion of the history of aviation regulations, the rulemaking process, letters of interpretation and enforcement will be included. Offered through
Course to include subjects related to the exercise of the Commercial Pilot Certificate in professional settings, including line operations related to security, aircraft servicing, and passenger safety, and Pilot-in-Command aircraft maintenance and airworthiness responsibilities. Course requirements will include observation of a 14 CFR Part 135 air charter organization and completion of a research project based on a complex general aviation operation.
This course provides a survey of advanced air mobility (AAM), the next paradigm in the transportation of persons and cargo. AAM utilizes a transformative set of technologies and systems, primarily involving unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Although this course is intended for students who are preparing to be professional aviators in manned aircraft, a looming challenge is the integration of UAS with manned aircraft in the national airspace system (NAS). The course prepares students to assume positions of management and leadership in this process. Students will choose a particular UAS application, about which they will research the current state of technology and deployment––as well as future deployment, as enabled by technological and regulatory advances. Offered through Lancaster
This course provides a survey of topics pertaining to pilot responsibilities regarding aircraft maintenance. It addresses these responsibilities and processes in three levels of the increasingly complex flight operations in which EMU aviation graduates will engage in the progression of their careers. It also prepares students for future responsibilities as managers and leaders in aviation enterprises in which aircraft maintenance will become part of their responsibilities. Students will perform a case study of an aircraft accident in which maintenance was a causal factor. Offered through Lancaster
This course prepares students to pursue a career in commercial aviation, to include positions that are outside of 14 CFR Part 121 but which require an Air Transport Pilot Certificate. Students will research vocations and organizations and will select a particular organization that conducts types of operations in which they are interested in serving. Students will complete a paper on that organization deriving from research about their organizational history, past and current key persons, financial structure, and nature and location of their operations. Students will receive assistance in applying for the internships in which they will engage in AVIA 430 - Aviation Internship, in the spring semester of their senior year.
This course is a survey of 14 CFR Part 121 passenger and cargo airline operations. Students will study topics related to the following functional areas: flight operations, dispatch, customer service, cargo carriage, aircraft maintenance, and cabin safety. Students will visit the operations and maintenance facilities of a 14 CFR Part 121 air carrier organization and will complete a research project and paper based on a Part 121 operation. Students will receive an orientation in a full- motion jet simulator. Students will receive assistance in applying for the internships in which they will engage in AVIA 430 - Aviation Internship, in the spring semester of their senior year. Offered through Lancaster
64 – 2026-27 Undergraduate Programs of Study
Students combine their research with the practical application of leadership and organizational theories and concepts in a capstone project, which examines an area of the student’s aviation occupation. Important themes include effective and ethical aviation leadership, sustainable aviation business strategy, and the role of organizational values. Offered through Lancaster
