Aerospace Education PowerPoint Presentations and AEPSM Study Aide

The PowerPoint files on this page are designed to double as a study aide for the Aerospace Education Program for Senior Members (AEPSM) test, and also as Presentation Slides for Aerospace Lectures in your squadron or classroom.

NOTE: Concurrently with the PowerPoint files on this page, I am developing a CD version with audio narration to be used as a stand-alone self study tool for the AEPSM. The script for the narrations is included in the "notes" portion of the PowerPoint Files found here. (Open Powerpoint first, click File-Open to open the file in edit mode, then click View-Notes Page) This Project will take a while to complete so please be patient.
