Global Change as Demonstrated by Aviation – Materials for Teaching Upper-level Geography Classes

MTU Aero Engines offers geography teachers at the Gymnasium ready-to-use teaching materials for download. These materials are precisely attuned to the Bavarian curriculum for upper-level classes, and include both relevant assignments and a separate solutions booklet. Through concrete examples from the world of industry, students are given the opportunity to comprehend the relevance of their geography lessons both for the economy and for their own career options. The materials were prepared by Dipl.-Geogr. Jürgen Patzke, a tenured teacher (Studienrat) at the Burkhart-Gymnasium Mallersdorf-Pfaffenberg. He was employed at MTU Aero Engines as a “Teacher in Business” during the 2012-13 school year.
