In Fall 1999, Dr. Downey will teach the course to 300+students. At ERAU, Dr. Lucena teaches the course in the summer for engineering seniors whostay to complete their senior design projects but the course is also open to students of Science,Technology, and Globalization (STG) and Aeronautical Sciences. Some of the case studies havebeen changed to incorporate aviation and aerospace industries, such as Boeing and Honeywell,where a significant number of ERAU graduates end up working.Dr. Downey has proposed to accommodate large student demand for this course at Virginia Techby
