Why a PHD in Maintenance

Abstract

Why does the Air Force need to have officers with a PhD in Aircraft Maintenance? Aside from the fact that the Chief of Staff of the Air Force thinks it's a great idea, there may be other reasons. Before we can debate the necessity of a PhD in Maintenance, the Air Force first needs to figure out what is a PhD in Maintenance?" Once you receive this PhD in Maintenance, what will that do for you? What things will be expected of you that were not expected of you before? The next hurdle to navigate is to determine how to earn a PhD in Maintenance. There's not a course catalogue at "Maintenance University" describing the academic program that will qualify you for a PhD in Maintenance.
