| DESCRIPTION | 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. Study-unit Aims: The overall goal of this course is to instill in the student an appreciation for the impact of historical events and legislative acts on the development and control of aviation as it exists today. Particular attention will be paid to the role that the Federal Government played in this process. Learning Outcomes: Upon course completion, students will be able to: 1. Evaluate the roles and influence of key individuals, institutions, and organizations in the development and regulation of commercial aviation; 2. Explain the general contextual elements influencing aviation policies and regulation, including technology, markets, group interests, and politics; 3. Interpret the specific contextual elements that shaped key aviation regulatory events, such as passage of the 1938 Civil Aeronautics Act and the 1978 Airline Deregulation Act; 4. Identify the impacts of key aviation regulatory events on the commercial aviation and aerospace industry and the evolving context of aviation policy and regulation; 5. Identify historical and emerging contextual and regulatory continuities of probable relevance to current and future commercial aviation events and policy; 6. Select and apply appropriate research and communication methodologies in the analyses and presentation of subjects of relevance to the objectives of this course; 7. Review and explain the history of international aviation relations by focusing on the conferences, conventions and treaties that shaped and affected international agreements between nations in aviation matters.
