How to Write an Aeronautics Capstone

Excelling in bachelors of aeronautics (BSA) capstone project or MSA project requires certain skills in addition to the knowledge gained throughout the course. The most important aspect about writing an outstanding capstone project is the ability to understand the university’s requirements. The requirements vary from one institution to another. Most universities provide their students with the guidelines in form of a capstone writing handbook, a template, or a rubric. These guidelines can be downloaded from the university website or can be obtained from the capstone supervisor.

Tips for Writing a successful Aeronautics Project

1. Read and understand the university’s capstone writing guidelines.
2. Understand the university’s capstone course objectives.
3. Understand Bloom’s Higher Level learning skills – at bachelors and masters level students are not examined for ability to define or describe, but their ability to identify problems, come up with solutions using critical thought, evaluation, and analysis.
4. Identify a problem in any area of aeronautics/aviation – one of the ways of identifying a problem is to read the recommendations of other researchers in journal articles. Most peer-reviewed articles have a section on “recommendations for future research”. Reading such sections can give the student an idea of a valid topic
5. Determine the purpose of your research in addressing the problem.
6. Develop a capstone topic based on the problem.
7. Write a proposal indicating how you will address the problem in your capstone.
8. Get the proposal approved by your supervisor.
9. Conduct thorough research in academic databases such as EBSCOhost and ProQuest.
10. Obtain recent sources such as peer-reviewed journal articles relating to your topic.
11. Select the most relevant sources by reading the abstract or skimming through the article.
12. Write a capstone outline.
13. Write each part of the capstone guided by the university’s rubric.
14. The project should have an abstract (this is written last), an introduction, a body, a conclusion/recommendations section, a reference list, and appendices.
15. Skills such as critical thought and analytical ability must be applied and evident in the write-up.
16. Other skills that you ought to demonstrate in your project are evaluation and analysis.
17. Quantitative skills can be demonstrated by the use of charts, tables, and figures.
18. Ensure you address each part of the rubric to avoid losing points.
19. Ideas should flow logically throughout the manuscript. Any claim should be supported with evidence and citations showing where the information was obtained from should be provided. In-text citations should be in accordance with the writing style recommended by the university such as APA or MLA. The same should apply to the reference list and the formatting of the whole manuscript.

Writing the Abstract and Editing the Capstone Project

After the capstone project is completed, one should write the abstract indicating the aim or objectives of the research, the methods or approach used in collecting the data, the main findings, and the conclusion or recommendations. These should appear in the abstract in brief.

The final stages of writing an aeronautics capstone project involve editing and proofreading. One can do it or seek the help of a third party such as a friend or a professional editor to ensure that the manuscript is free of any errors.

Developing a Defense PowerPoint

In case one has no time spare for writing their capstone, there are genuine service providers such who can assist the student in developing all the aspects of the capstone until the final document is successful. Some universities also require the student to defend their project by making a presentation either in PowerPoint or Prezi. We assist students to prepare professional PPT slides for the defense of their project at a discounted price.

Data Analysis Help for MSA Capstone Students

In addition, if a scholar is undertaking an MSA degree, they may need assistance in research design, for example determining the sample size, sampling technique, designing surveys, determining statistical tests, and analyzing data using software such as SPSS. We are always glad to assist MSA students with such tasks and ensure their capstone is successful. Whichever method one chooses to ensure their capstone is written to the highest standard, our expert aeronautics writers are always open for consultation.
