Crisis Leadership in Aeronautical Engineering Education: Lessons from the Pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic introduced first-time challenges to Aeronautical Engineering education that required timely and effective crisis leadership to provide continuity in learning. The practical nature of the profession required that the faculty members and coordinators apply innovative responses to transition into remote and blended learning environments with no compromise in the quality of teaching and accrediting standards. The research aims to investigate the effects of crisis leadership to Aeronautical Engineering education. The significance of the study involves universities, coordinators and faculties, students, researchers, and future researchers. The scope of the study was to provide results from Holy Angel University offering the said courses in which the data’s provided are used to determine the effects of crisis leadership. The limitations include faculties and coordinators only. The research design to be used is correlational research in which 2 variables are being correlated whether the effects are positive or negative. The research methods that be used are mixed methods to enhance integrity of the study by involving experience and numerical values. Populations are within universities offering the course and samples only revolve in faculties and coordinators. The research instrument will be via interview and the result will be translated by Microsoft Excel.
