Aerospace ScienceAerospace Science (AS) courses are taught in four-year sequences. For organizational purposes, there are separate textbooks for these courses and the Leadership Education courses. In practice, however, the overlap is considerable. For example, writing and speaking skills are categorized as “leadership education topics” but can and should be incorporated into the “Aerospace Science” courses. Additionally, many of the Aerospace Science topics will be helpful in the Leadership Education classes.
Goals for Aerospace Science Courses Students will learn about: 1. The development of flight, and civilian and military contributions to aviation. 2. How airplanes fly, how weather conditions affect flight, flight and the human body, and flight navigation. 3. Various cultures through the study of world affairs, regional studies, cultural awareness, people and places, religions, languages, political systems, economics, social issues, environmental concerns, and human rights. 4. The space environment, space exploration, manned and unmanned spaceflight, astronomy, and space technology. 5. The elements of surviving, personal protection, necessities to maintain life, and orientation and traveling. 6. The fundamentals of flight, flight operations, aviation weather, performance and navigation, and integrating pilot knowledge and skills. Aerospace Science Courses

AS 510: AFJROTC Honors Senior Project
This project is provided for those units who have students that want to continue on in AFJROTC
during their senior year and receive honors credit. It will allow top cadets to earn Honors Credit
for a more demanding version of “Management of the Cadet Corps” allowing cadets the opportunity
to improve their leadership, management, and organizational skills.
This culminating honors project is designed for cadets to demonstrate essential skills through
reading, writing, speaking, production, and/or performance. Cadet skills in analysis, logic, and
creativity will also be showcased through successful completion of this project.
The Honors Senior Project is primarily targeted for senior cadets in a three- or four-year program.
However, it is not uncommon for other academically successful cadets enrolled in Advanced
Placement, other Honors, or in an International Baccalaureate program to successfully
complete this project.
