The module is intended to underpin final stage projects. This module provides part of the background needed to undertake, at final year degree level, research including quantitative and qualitative research methods. Successful students should be able to demonstrate that they understand the concepts and how they should be applied to the production of a project proposal and a project. 298EKM Aviation Safety, Security & Emerg. Planning The module explores current approaches through applicable regulations to aviation safety and security, Safety Management Systems (SMS), human factors and the use of technology to safety and security issues applicable to aircraft, airports, flights and airline operations.
