Abstract | A program review was done of all aviation/aerospace-related higher education programs in Oklahoma. A team of nine experts reviewed statistics on the state's public and private programs, conducted a survey of institutions on industry status and projected training needs, and visited all 10 program locations. The project applied guidelines to evaluate the data and make recommendations. Evaluation covered the industry as a whole including aviation trends, manpower needs, merging technologies, and industrial workforce requirements; Oklahoma state programs; and private programs. The evaluation found that the State System is producing too many pilots and aviation maintenance technicians and devoting too little effort to planning designed to meet future aviation/aerospace needs in the state or nationally. The evaluation recommended a statewide comprehensive program planning process to improve efficiency and excellence and to develop strategies to meet current and future needs. New career track programs recommended include fiber optics, laser optics, robotics, and space medicine. In addition the State System was urged to identify strategies to encourage and facilitate participation of women and minorities in the industry. Finally, the report recommends that Oklahoma focus more resources on mathematics and science educational reform. Appendixes list task force members, describe the Task Force activities, and identify areas of future labor force shortages. (JB) |
