Incidence of manual software application for teaching technical english and C-130 airplane systems to students of second level Mechanical Aeronautical Career at ITSA, during period march-june 2007

This research is made by two parts, in the first part the Manual-Software that contains elemental information in Technical English about the main system of the C-130 aircraft, systems as Generalities, Engines, Pneumatic System, Flight Controls, Electrical System, Fuel System and Propeller. In each of these Chapters we have general information basically concepts, illustrations, first diagrams and so on. In other words, this Manual contain the knowledge in Technical English that the students of mechanical aeronautical in the Aeronautical Technological Superior Institute must have about C-130 Airplane before finishing the period of training and going to the squadron of the Ecuadorian Air Force as airmen and mechanics. This Manual-Software was applied in the ITSA about three months in order to improve the teaching-learning process, thus, in the future the Ecuadorian Air Force will have more qualified personnel to carry out the mission to flight with security. After this period, the students were evaluated both in Technical English and Systems of the C-130 Airplane. In this period of practicing we realized the evaluation by means of a survey about the acceptation of this Manual-Software as a new resource in order to improve the teaching-learning process of technical English in the ITSA and in the Ecuadorian Air Force. It was applied to the students of mechanical aeronautical career who received the instruction. The results of the evaluation were that, the information included in this Manual-Software is the most important about the systems of the C-130 Airplane, the methodology used in order to teach was very effective, the software with the interactive graphs and the visual information with the help of in focus is very comprehensible. This work and application was elaborated seeking information of several manuals that conform the process of Operation and Maintenance. It is necessary to continue doing the same work with the rest of squadrons of the Ecuadorian Air Force in order to get in the future the best Technological levels.
