The case analysis

Case Analysis Effectiveness
The case analysis is a general tool used to document and report analytical thinking. In this course the use of the case analysis tool definitely applies by bringing the reality of the situation into the classroom. It has been a useful means to analyzing both systems and problems that pertain to situations and designs of systems. Although I do believe the case analysis has applicability to the syllabus in this course and human factors, I do believe it will have even further applicability in fields where systems design, aerodynamics, avionics and engineering are the goals. My research paper for this course covered the upcoming changes that may take place in the NAS as a result of UAS and what it may mean for ATC. This methodology proved to be an excellent way to document my findings as well as the ability to document options related to potential regulations, networked systems such as NextGen and operators; critical and analytically documented. In my line of work, currently, there is not much need for use in documenting analytical thinking. However, my future job may change where I will need to use these skills to accurately analyze and document such findings. One suggestion for these courses would be to do more group type activities. Obviously we all come from different backgrounds and some have a lot of experience in aviation, both manned and unmanned, but some don’t. Therefore, to integrate a group to conduct analytical thinking on a subject and then assign sections of writing in a case analysis may be a good way to create group dynamics. Also, it has been my experience thus far in graduate school, especially distance learning,that it is mostly built around individual experience and work. In the work environment it is seldom all about the individual accomplishing tasks as it is about the group achieving its stated goals. To start building this group dynamic and teamwork concept will further many individuals in their careers.
