Application of Aerospace Management as an Extracurricular in Aeronautical Engineering Program of Holy Angel University
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Aerospace and Management in Academe
Abstract
This study explores the integration of Aerospace Management as an extracurricular activity within the Aeronautical Engineering program at Holy Angel University. The primary aim is to investigate the relationship between this integration and the academic curriculum among incoming Aeronautical Engineering students. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data was collected from 265 incoming fourth-year students through online surveys and structured questionnaires. The findings reveal a significant interest in Aerospace Management, with 80% of students preferring it as a technical elective and extracurricular activity. Despite the high demand, challenges arise due to the current curriculum requirements, which mandate enrollment in Feasibility Studies for degree completion. This study underscores the importance of Aerospace Management in enhancing educational experiences by fostering essential skills such as project management, leadership, and teamwork. The results highlight the need for curriculum adjustments to better align with student preferences and industry demands, ultimately preparing students for future roles in the aviation and aerospace sectors.

[2] Despite these challenges, the study underscores the importance of Aerospace Management in enhancing students' educational experiences. Participation in these activities not only supports academic learning but also fosters essential skills such as project management, leadership, and teamwork. These skills are crucial for future roles in the aviation industry, where engineers must manage projects, lead teams, and collaborate with various stakeholders.
[3] Furthermore, the study emphasizes the broader benefits of integrating Aerospace Management into the curriculum. Engaging in these activities allows students to build professional networks, gain practical experience, and improve their communication and problem-solving abilities. It also prepares them to address current challenges in the aviation and aerospace sector, such as safety, sustainability, and innovation.
[4] In conclusion, while there is a clear demand for Aerospace Management as an extracurricular activity, the current curriculum structure poses challenges to its seamless integration. Addressing these challenges through curriculum adjustments could enhance the educational experience for Aeronautical Engineering students, better preparing them for future careers in the aerospace industry. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the current academic environment and highlight the potential areas for further development in aerospace education at Holy Angel University.
