Benefits Found for International Students
A handful of ERAU students set to work developing a 6 week program to enhance the quality of radio skills among their international students, and so far the results are promising. Using the school's Air Traffic Control Lab and funding from the Undergraduate Research Institute, the group created a realistic training environment to practice the radio calls required throughout a series of routine simulated flights. By rehearsing in the virtual airport environment, international students in the program improved their proficiency to more than 97% as gauged by pre/post testing.
