Ae program

Aerospace Education Leadership RequirementsThis element outlines the leadership required for the AE portion of the CAP mission. The term “leadership” applies to every CAP member and specifically to commanders and AE officers. Commanders at all levels should demonstrate support for the AE mission and staff each authorized AE position with individuals who conduct and support aerospace education in the unit. Region, wing, unit commanders and AE officers provide leadership and assistance to ensure an effective AE program.4. Individual Aerospace Continuing EducationThis element establishes the obligation for each senior member to create his/ her own individual continuing education program on aerospace topics. Every member has a personal obligation to sustain a level of aerospace knowledge that will ensure a strong professional organization. Reading professional magazines, journals, and books is a way to achieve this element. Unit AEOs can facilitate individual continuing aerospace education by conducting aerospace education programs including such things as hands-on activities, guest speakers, and field trips.5. Aerospace Education OutreachThis element makes it the responsibility of all senior members, not just unit AEOs, to promote aerospace education within CAP and in their communities. Visiting schools, talking with educators and school administrators, giving school presentations, writing newspaper articles and directing a unit hands-on activity are among those examples that exemplify the fulfillment of this element.Aerospace education is also a major part of the cadet program. Cadets study aerospace books and perform hands-on aerospace activities in a group or by themselves. Cadets must complete formal aerospace education requirements to progress through the various achievements of the cadet program. Cadets must complete staff duty analyses, one of which is Aerospace Education Officer, and serve as aerospace mentors to other cadets. CAPR 52-16, Cadet Program Management, defines the cadet program and outlines the aerospace education requirements.External Aerospace Education (for AE members)The External AE program presents aerospace education to the public and particularly to schools. This is accomplished through academic programs within the educational systems and through contacts between CAP members and their communities. Educator Member overview flier is here. (STEM Kit information is included.)1. Aerospace Education Member (AEM)AEM is a special membership category

Moho is primarily an animation program and AE is primarily a compositing and FX program. There is some overlap in features: for example, you can do some limited and fx work compositing in Moho, and you can do some limited character animation in AE, but I wouldn't want to do any advanced compositing in Moho, nor would I want to create a lot of character animation exclusively in AE. The two programs work great together though...almost like they were made for each other.If you don't want to get AE in addition to programs you're using, there are good free options. For example, I used Fusion to composite my first 'Moho' short 'Scareplane', which was almost completely animated using Moho (called ASP at the time.) Fusion can be downloaded free for non-commercial productions, and like AE, it works great with Moho's Layer Comps system. BTW, the free version of Fusion has an excellent built-in 3D particle engine. With AE, you'd have to add-on Trapcode Particular to get something comparable.FYI, I used the commercial version of Fusion for film, TV, and video games for many years at my former job, and use AE for TV production where I work now. I like both compositing programs a lot but they have very different GUI's, strengths and weaknesses. If you're looking to add compositing and fx work to your pipeline, I can highly recommend either one.Hope this helps.

Civil Air Patrol offers numerous products and programs -- free to members -- in fulfillment of both its Internal (cadets and senior members) and External (educators and students) Aerospace Education mission.

Watch this video to see what's new with our programs.Internal Aerospace Education (for uniformed members)The Internal AE program provides basic aerospace education program knowledge to both senior members and cadet members.The Aerospace Education Program for Senior Members (AEPSM) should be an integral part of every senior member’s CAP experience. It consists of five elements:1. The Yeager TestThis element is a self-paced study based on the Textbook Aerospace: The Journey of Flight. All senior members have the responsibility to read and become knowledgeable with the content of this text. Once members are ready to take the Yeager test, they can do so on-line within eServices or using offline paper-based options. Members are encouraged to take the test on-line. Members completing any of the options will receive the Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager Aerospace Education Achievement Award and are authorized to wear the Yeager Award ribbon.2. Aerospace Education Management Skills DevelopmentThis element involves the orientation and training of unit AEOs. The CAPP 215 specialty track, developed specifically for AE staff professional growth, is available on the CAP website. The specialty track consists of three phases: Technician; Senior; and Master. All three phases are evaluated by a written examination (available on-line) and by demonstrated performance. Achievement of the Technician rating in the Aerospace Education Officer specialty track authorizes the wearing of the AE badge.A bronze star is added to the AE badge upon achievement of the Senior rating. A gold star replaces the bronze star after achievement of the Master rating. When the Master specialty track rating is earned and the CAP member is an active aerospace education officer, as certified by the commander, the CAP member will be awarded the A. Scott Crossfield Award.3.
