Given that one of the aspects of home built / sport aviation in most countries seems to be "for the education" of the builder, I was wondering today if there are any universities /colleges that would offer a student-driven degree-level program that could tie in closely with the building of an RV. For me, I'm hoping to get seriously underway early next year on building an RV-8, after spending a lot of time reading and researching over the last year. As I currently realistically know very little of actual building, I plan to do a lot of reading and researching on all aspects along the way, as well as documenting my project fairly minutely. It occured to me while driving to work today that the amount of work involved will easily exceed what I've previously needed to do diplomas, graduate diplomas and various certificates in various fields (nursing, IT, photography, law). If I structured my building documentation accordingly, I have no doubt I'd end up writing a very long and extensive thesis!!
So, my question is, does anyone know of, or is anyone involved in university education associated with aviation stream courses. I think this could easily be distance education, so whilst living in Australia, there would be no reason this couldn't be accomplished via a US, UK or other country university, assuming I can't find anything relevant here (starting to look tonight).
Maybe others want to join in and create a "class of 09"???
Thanks in advance.
