Abstract

The flood 88 of 2009 in Taiwan caused catastrophic effects on the residents in the southern part of the island. This project is one of the efforts and we have designed and carried out a hands-on curriculum as part of the therapeutic measures to the students that suffered from the flood. Our results show that, from these long-term activities, the facilitation of our pupils concerning aeronautics and the therapeutical outcomes are significant.
