The project is building on two prior NSF-supported projects that identified thirteen separate and unique certification areas in the avionics and electronics technician career-field. In these earlier projects the investigators developed standards, curricula, and certification testing for four of the areas (aircraft electronics, navigation systems, communication systems, and avionics and electronics system installation and integration), and they are completing the remaining ones on the current project. In doing this, they are establishing aviation industry defined and endorsed avionics and electronics standards; developing and publishing curriculum with lesson plans and student study guides for each standard; and establishing an industry recognized certification program for avionics and electronics technicians. The investigators also have a K-12 outreach initiative that involves summer workshops for teachers and counselors, FAA Aviation Career Education (ACE) Academy workshops, and a shared program with American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum. All the educational materials are available to secondary schools nationally. Evaluation, being conducted by independent evaluators, involves pre and post tests and structured interviews to monitor progress toward the project's outcomes. The investigators are disseminating their work through presentations and exhibits at major aviation conferences and trade shows, through journal publications, and through an on-line newsletter. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the developed material and the K-12 outreach programs.

该项目是在NSF之前支持的两个项目的基础上建立的，这些项目确定了航空电子和电子技术人员职业领域的十三个独立且独特的认证领域。 在这些早期项目中，研究人员为其中四个领域（飞机电子设备、导航系统、通信系统、航空电子设备和电子系统安装和集成）制定了标准、课程和认证测试，他们正在完成当前项目的其余部分。在此过程中，他们正在建立航空工业定义和认可的航空电子和电子标准;开发和出版课程，包括每个标准的课程计划和学生学习指南;并为航空电子和电子技术人员建立行业认可的认证计划。 调查人员还开展了一项K-12外展计划，其中包括教师和辅导员的夏季研讨会，FAA航空职业教育（ACE）学院研讨会以及与美国航空公司C.R.的共享计划。史密斯博物馆 所有教材都提供给全国的中学。 评价由独立评价人员进行，包括前后测试和结构化访谈，以监测项目成果的进展情况。 调查人员正在通过在主要航空会议和贸易展览会上的介绍和展览、通过期刊出版物和通过在线通讯传播他们的工作。 更广泛的影响包括传播已编制的材料和K-12外联方案。
