Rethinking Credentials for Aviation and Aerospace Sustainability: A DACUM Approach

PI Leila Halawi

The goal of this project was to move sustainability from where it is today, in the pre-paradigm phase, to the realms of normal science, where sustainability can be deployed to help organizations, not limited to the aviation and aerospace fields, accomplish goals such as increasing profits, reducing risk, remaining agile, and addressing common threats within their industry The proposed work did enhance the understanding of sustainability as a discipline and increased the reach of our Worldwide program. It was also a great venue to market our certificate offering along with our Master's degree.

This research aimed to identify what constitutes aviation/aerospace sustainability job skills to align better align, improve, and fortify course content to support the future employment of graduate students. The purpose of this proposal was to reinforce a current research effort aimed at bridging the skills gap between industry needs for sustainability in the aviation and aerospace workforce and university curricula.
