The information provided on the internet address www.allstar.fiu.edu
regarding turbine engine technology has attracted my attention. As an Assistant Professor
at the National Aerospace Education Center of Fairmont
State College, I am currently teaching an aircraft turbine engine course. Over the
past few years we have used various textbooks to teach the course and have not been
completely satisfied with any of the books previously
used. I am very interested in getting a desk copy of your textbook entitled
"Introduction to Gas Turbines for Non-Engineers." Within the next few weeks book
orders for the fall semester will be due and I will need
approximately 25 books. If your text fulfills our needs I will be eager to incorporate it
into our program. Please let me know how I can obtain a copy or your text for evaluation.
Thank you, Brad Gilbert

I am a high school teacher who is transitioning our program from electronics to
Industrial Engineering Technology. We have included aeronautics and aviation in the
curriculum since it is an interesting and motivating subject area from which we can teach
applied physics and other areas of study in a secondary school pre-engineering/technology
career path.
I have found the Allstar web site a valuable tool and since we have 40 internet
terminals in our classroom we are able to use it to its potential. It is excellent in its
format and understandable to all of our students since we serve those of all academic
levels and abilities.
Although our pre-engineering/ pre-technician studies program is primarily an
electronics program, the aviation/aerospace portion of the program has been difficult due
to a lack of instructional materials. Your site turns out to be invaluable. It is
understandable and the students seem to enjoy browsing to find answers to the questions
they are asked on quizzes. They launched the hot air balloons this week that they designed
and built using a TQM instructional strategy and last Saturday, I was able to give several
students and their parents orientation rides in my Cherokee 180. It is great that
the instruction I offer through projects, demonstrations and and lectures are reinforced
by the quality Instructional tool FIU and NASA has provided. You will notice a relatively
large group of new registered users today. Hopefully the number of hits recently will help
demonstrate the need to continue this effort.
We will be using navigational processes this week to teach triangulation, geometric
applications, scales and rate/time calculation.
Thank you again for providing a quality learning tool.

Dear Mr. Levy,
At Pine Creative Arts Academy in my Physical Science class I printed and copied the
ALLSTAR pages while my students made paper gliders and experimented with the control
surfaces. The information was understandable to the kids and they successfully learned how
airplanes fly. Thank you for a useful web site.

We use your website as part of our Aerospace Science class at Fort Collins High School.
It is an excellent resource.
Thanks for all of your efforts.

Hello,
Im a Technology Teacher in upstate NY. I am getting ready to do a unit on Theory of
Flight. The students have to design a wing and make a model plane. It is a contest to see
who can get their model to fly straight and the highest.
THANK YOU for the website. It will work great as on introduction to the Learning Unit. I
think the site was great and had a lot of good information for my students to use.
Again Thank You:
Steve Davis
