AB  -                Rule the Air! Summer Camp for High School StudentsDuring a weeklong summer camp, high school students were introduced to aviation and theairline industry. The camp curriculum centered on the use of airline simulation software toprovide students hands-on experience with some of the major challenges faced in the airlineindustry. The students formed teams that were tasked with creating and operating an airlinewhich included scheduling, staffing, fleet selection, maintenance, advertising, and ticket pricing.Throughout the week, lectures and activities were presented by graduate students and professorsto inform the decision-making process of the new airline executives. The topics coveredincluded: transportation engineering, the history of the airline industry, attributes that affectconsumer’s choice, reasons for passenger “no shows” and ways to predict the number ofpassengers that will not show up, game theory as applied to setting fares, scheduling techniques,the physics of flight, marketing programs, and frequent flyer incentives. The camp also includedfieldtrips to Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and the Delta Heritage Museum.The curriculum culminated in a competition between the students’ airlines using the software tosimulate a real-world environment. The evaluation of this summer program utilized pre-postsurveys to measure the impact of camp experience on student self-efficacy and STEM interest.Furthermore, it was designed to determine students’ interest and understanding of the airlineindustry. The post-survey also consisted of open-ended questions focusing on students’ interestin pursuing a career in the airline industry after attending the camp. Results indicate that studentfamiliarity with the airline industry generally increased. Additionally, students generally feltmore confident performing activities related to the airline industry following the summerprogram. The majority of students (75%) also reported that they were interested in pursing amarketing or engineering degree in college. Overall, the evaluation results showed that the campwas a positive learning experience for students.
