Aerospace Studies (ASST) Classes
Throughout my time in AFROTC at LSU, I have had to take many hours of Aerospace Studies classes, which taught me the leadership qualities needed to be a successful officer in the United States Air Force. The majority of our grades came from standing in front of peers and presenting on various historical figures, such as Billy Mitchell, or strategic areas the U.S. focuses on in the world. Beyond the coursework, we were taught the fundamentals needed to lead. These lessons emphasized accountability, decision-making under pressure, effective communication, and the responsibility that follows. These skills transferred directly to other roles I held at LSU, such as campus clubs and my role as a Resident Assistant.
I have included a presentation on Billy Mitchell, one of the most influential figures of the United States Air Force. This presentation was accompanied with an hour and a half speech - the longest presentation I have ever had to give! However, I thoroughly enjoyed my research and found myself running out of time when speaking.
Two papers, one on a Global Hotspot, and another on the applicability of undergraduate engineering programs in AFROTC are included, as well.
