AVIATION EDUCATION WORKSHOPS SET AT MORE THAN FORTY COLLEGES
We’re in the Air Age, the Space Age and the Atomic Age all at the same time, and this is a fact of life that has been recognized by the directors of more than forty ayiation education workshops which will be in session across the country this summer.
Whether the project has to be compressed into two intensive weeks, or can be taken at a more leisurely pace over five, or somewhere between those limits, the objective of an aviation education workshop is the same —to provide indoctrination which will bring fresh viewpoints and up-to-date factual knowledge to instruction in geography, social studies, the sciences and other subjects.
College credit is offered, and the cost is ^^nnparable to that of other summer work-^B)ps. or summer courses in teacher train-institutions, of like duration and scope. A list of workshops announced for this summer, with addresses appears at right and on page T-2. The list represents information available at time of compilation, collected by Dr. Evan Evans, Executive Director of the National Aviation Education Council and by the Aviation Education Office of the Civil Air Patrol.
There will be a national workshop this year, sponsored by Montana State University, Montana Aeronautics Commission, the Civil Air Patrol and the United States Air Force.
Tire -pattern n-f tir-e NwtiwKRi A-sw'««?, cation Workshop was developed in three successive summers at the University of Colorado, and further perfected in a session at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. In 1958, the national project was omitted, but a Pacific Coast Regional Aviation Education Workshop was successfully conducted in Honolulu by the University of Hawaii, the Civil Air Patrol and the United States Air Force. Its format resembled that of the national workshops, and it rivalled them in size, as well, but with participants mostly from Hawaii and from the western part of the United States.
Actually, the objectives of all aviation education workshops are about the same,
•^hether they are national, regional or local, Pad the method of attaining them may be illustrated by quoting from the announcement of the 1959 National Aviation Education Workshop, as follows:
