AFJROTC

AFJROTC
Aerospace Science – Air Force JROTC Air Force Junior ROTC is a citizenship program for high school students in the ninth through twelfth grades. AFJROTC encourages its students to get involved in their local communities to help them become well-informed and helpful citizens. Each year’s Aerospace Science course work relates to a different theme. Examples are frontiers in aviation history, the science of flight, and the exploration of space. To enhance classroom learning, students participate in extracurricular and social activities, such as field trips, drill teams, honor guards, model rocketry and dining-outs. Aerospace Science is a combined social studies, applied science, and leadership development course sponsored by the United States Government. The U.S. Air Force establishes the curriculum and furnishes all text material. The social studies or applied science portion of the course, which covers the major elements of aerospace science, is usually presented three days a week. The leadership development is presented two days a week. This portion stresses responsibility, self-discipline, self-confidence, and communicative skill development through practical lab experience in planning, instructing, and motivating fellow classmates. Air Force uniforms are furnished free, on a loan basis, and are required to be worn one day a week, on field trips, and on other special occasions. Also, students are expected to maintain the Air Force grooming standards. Career-minded high school students will learn about jobs in the aerospace industry and the Air Force that will open important opportunities for the future. High school students who complete the aerospace science program in Air Force Junior ROTC may be eligible to enter the armed forces at higher pay grades than other enlistees. College-bound students can compete for an Air Force Academy nomination or an Air Force ROTC scholarship through their Air Force Junior ROTC unit. Aerospace Science I 1 Credit Prerequisites: None Course Fee: $25.00 This introductory aerospace course is designed to give a basic knowledge of the origin and development of today’s aerospace world. The course is organized as a chronicle of American military history in relation to the development of air power and covers a period of about 4,000 years, from 2,000 BC to the present. The leadership portion concentrates on customs and courtesies; the flag, uniform, and personal appearance; attitude, discipline, study habits, and drill. Aerospace Science II 1 Credit Prerequisite: Aerospace Science I or instructor’s permission Course Fee: $25.00 This course provides an introduction to the atmosphere and weather elements, the effects of flight on the human body, and basic aeronautics and principles as they apply to man and machine in flight. Leadership concentrates on effective listening, communication, motivation, prejudice, sexism, and leadership principles. Drill is continued with expanded maneuvers. Aerospace Science III 1 Credit Prerequisite: Aerospace Science II or concurrent enrollment in Aerospace Science II Course Fee: $25.00 The applied science curriculum is continued with emphasis on propulsion, space travel, rocketry, and spacecraft. A twelve-week course in survival may be inserted into this year as an optional study area. Leadership looks at management process, stress and financial management, systems of government, government of the U.S., personal standards, guide to decision-making, and oral communication. Drill performance is brought to the highest level by studying and demonstrating all the basic drill commands. Aerospace Science IV 1 Credit Prerequisites: Aerospace Science II and Aerospace Science III or concurrent enrollment in Aerospace Science III Requirement: Teacher Recommendation Course Fee: $25.00 This course is structured to the individual needs of selected students. Emphasis is placed on developing leadership abilities. Students are rotated into high-level group staff positions and required to demonstrate management techniques. Course material is selected from professional journals, texts, or periodicals on the subjects of aviation, space, and leadership.
