Course Project
Participants will be organized into groups that will
each investigate a particular aircraft accident, from start to
finish. Each group will select their own director,
investigator-in-charge, and various group specialists. They will conduct
an organizational meeting, progress meetings, and a press
conference. At the conclusion of the course, each team will present
an oral argument of the factual findings and analysis of their case to a
three-member "board." |
