AEROSPACE ELITE TEAM

USE OF PORTABLE DEVICES

Thanks to the advancement in technology, the experience of flight simulation can now be brought to students through portable devices. This was not possible in the past as hardware was both costly and bulky. Now we can simulate flying using tablets or laptops, and all members in the team can practise simultaneously. Thus, users can learn real aerodynamics through realistic graphics anytime and anywhere. Upon reaching certain milestones, they will be given the chance to fly using more realistic simulation equipment.

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE

We are building and refining a School-Based Curriculum in the hope of getting students to learn some of the aforementioned knowledge. We believe it is in the students’ best interest if they can learn through hands-on experience. This way, they can learn more advanced topics without having to wait until they get to senior forms when these topics are taught. Also, we believe Experiential Learning (acquiring knowledge through experience) is a key in acquiring practical knowledge for our learners.

AROUSING STUDENTS’ INTEREST

We also plan to adopt a Self-Directed Learning approach to maximize our learning outcomes. We are incorporating various learning tasks (other than just flying) so as to give students better exposure to actual airplane designs. And we believe that arousing students’ interest is the best way to get students motivated. An enthusiast who spends hours researching into a subject often knows more than actual practitioner in the field. And we will incorporate small learning tasks with increasing degree of difficulty, fostering students’ interest through the positive experience of accomplishing even the hardest jobs.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN AVIATION

We plant the seeds of science and technology through subject discipline from sparking students‘ curiosity to sustained inquiry. Under the aerospace curriculum, we drive from individual aeronautical knowledge to multidiscipline subjects collaboration.
