BA SYLLABUS COURSE OVERVIEW: Welcome to ASM 488 Aviation Symposium II, the final Bachelor Level course in the curriculum for the Degree, Bachelor of Aviation Management. This course is a self-directed symposium, based on Aviation Management books and/or Aviation Business Management books. This course will allow you to pick and choose which books you will use and study during this course. The books should directly contribute a broad knowledge of your major program and you should get approval from me. In order to be successful in the modern business world and Aviation Management, it is imperative that safety officers and managers of all levels realize they must acquire proficiency in the subsequent areas; researching, organizing, accident/incident prevention plans, setting goals and objectives of safety management, budgeting, and recruiting. Other skills needed are knowledge of the federal rules and regulations that governs the industry, the international aviation organizations, the entire aviation system, and the historical milestone of military and civil aviation. A future safety manager must be able to draft an aviation safety speech that contains how safety is paramount for smooth expansion of aviation business and must have in-depth knowledge of statistical and historical background to address examples of worst occurrences and best achievements that aver happened to the industry. A future aviation safety manager must be able to understand the innovational technologies that affected the entire aviation system in the world. In Aviation Symposium I, you acquired those skills. In Symposium II, you will continue to hone those skills. During this course, you will use all of the aforementioned skills and one more important one that you will need to deploy many times during your managerial career: work under pressure to meet a deadline.
