DAE University plans to use computer-based technologies and software to dramatically alter how pilots and technical personnel are qualified for employment.

“In many ways, traditional flight and technical training have changed little in over 40 years. With its new approaches and technologies, DAE University is substantially renewing these often dated models of training and education, and doing so in ways relevant to emerging global airline industry needs in the region,” said Dr George H. Ebbs, president and CEO of DAE University.

“To meet these needs, we will focus on innovative ways to improve the learning experience, cut the time it takes to complete the training, and reduce the total cost.”

Dr Raymond Thompson, dean of the College of Aero and Astro Sciences, said the curricula would make extensive use of simulation technology.
