Institute of Technology talked about how educational challenges presented by COVID -19 at technical colleges with aviation maintenance technology programs in the United States,with perspectives collected from a sample of 20 instructors. Second, the paper written byOlaganathan & Amihan [11] from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University analyzed the riskshown due to the impact of COVID-19 on pilot proficiency. This study used pilots’ proficiencydata in flying collected from NASA’s Aviation Safety Report System. The paper written byMiani [12] talked about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on current tertiary aviationeducation and students’ perspective on their future careers. This study collected the data from aquestionnaire filled out by students

The approach taken, the team size, the deliverables and their respective due dates, andthe environment are key factors which engineering managers, technical team leads, andeducators must all address to complete an assigned goal. While many courses at both the highschool and college level focus on achieving set educational outcomes, the manner by which theseoutcomes are achieved may prove difficult to select due to the dynamic nature of the classroom.From the observations of this team, high school and university project deliverables andeducational expectations are commonly, and sufficiently, satisfied by a small team ofindividuals, and thus it is the focus of this paper to discuss the group dynamics and structure

Learning by using such materials takes place in a different manner than learning fromtextbooks. A textbook is organized by topics. A metallurgy text, for example, might begin with achapter in structure followed by one on characterization techniques. The text then builds on thisknowledge.

writing is an important component ofengineering education. Recognizing a serious deficiency in writing skills among today’s collegegraduates has motivated educators to continuously explore effective ways to help studentsimprove their writing skills. In this paper, a novel framework to improve technical writingamong engineering and technology students is introduced and analyzed. The frameworkproposed is currently under development by the School of Engineering and Technology atNATIONAL UNIVERSITY University, a private, non-profit institution dedicated to providingstudents with quality education.

Instructors are devoting some time in their courses to discuss technical writing requirements asit pertains to their assignments. Based on this assessment, there were several recommendations made to theprogram to increase student technical writing skills based on the identified gaps. • Revise and increase specific writing topic lessons in the curriculum to include structure, technical content, and grammar. • Create short technical writing activities and
