Genghis has made the most accurate and informative post yet regarding the role of an Aero degree in aviation. The Good Thing about an Aero. degree is that, as a pilot, it gives you something relevant to fall back on - you might need that when you get the first anomalous wobble on your ECG.
Even if you're not going to be involved in research & development, design & manufacture, an Aero. degree will equip you with a fundamental understanding that can be very useful to a pilot, whether a PPL or ATPL.
The Lecturing staff here at Glasgow try very hard to make the course interesting and relevant, within the constraints placed upon us by the RAeS and IMechE for accredidation of our degrees. We are very disappointed that you have resorted to defamatory and incorrect statements about our teaching abilities (or lack thereof), particularly on a site that is well-read by fellow-professionals. Pass rates and graduate employment records in Aero. at Glasgow are amongst the best around - we must be doing something right.
You don't need to apologise to me (since I haven't yet been involved in "teaching" you). However the 2nd year Adviser of Studies here at Glasgow is seriously miffed - an apology to him is definitely in order.
