The ideal degree course?

I have good reasons for asking this, but if anybody wants them, PM me and all will become (privately) clear.


Let's say you wanted to construct the perfect undergraduate degree course for future aviation professionals. Let's assume that they have left school aged 18, with a good standard of maths and physics, and want the option 4 years later of progressing to becoming either a professional aerospace engineer, or a professional pilot. (Or perhaps for the more gifted individuals, both ).

Assuming we're at a high quality university, with good engineering resources, and also access to a competent flying training organisation with the usual GA training facilities - what would you put in that course?

(And what should be mandatory, and what elective?)
