Has anyone heard of the Aero-Space Institute? It may be associated with Illinois State Board of Education
The "Aerospace Institute" which I am familiar with is the educational arm of The Aerospace Corporation, a federally-funded research and development center (FFRDC) of the Department of Defense. When I was stationed at Los Angeles Air Force Base, we work side by side with The Aerospace Corp. I think I took classes offered by the Aerospace Institute.
The Aerospace Corporation in-house education organization is at http://www.aero.org/education/tai/index.html They offer a few public courses but are non-credit (however I assume they could be used in a portfolio). The National Aerospace Institute offer graduate degree thru associated universities http://www.nianet.org/educationalprograms/ Some other Aerospace Institutes are: The Illinois Aerospace Institute is at http://www.ae.uiuc.edu/IAI/ The Ohio Aerospace Institute is at http://www.oai.org/
