We are pleased that the FAA is continuing to offer a Design Competition
for Universities for the 2010 2011 academic year! The Competition has
added new design categories.
The Competition guidelines and many resources are posted at the Competition
website:
Http://FaaDesignCompetition.odu.edu
The broad challenge categories of Airport Operations and Maintenance,
Runway Safety/Runway Incursions, Airport Environmental Interactions and
Airport Management and Planning embrace many engineering, science,
information technology, psychology and management disciplines. The
Competition is again open to individual and student teams at U.S. colleges
and universities (both undergraduate and graduate) working under the
mentorship of a faculty advisor. Winners can earn cash awards and first
place winners have the opportunity and travel funds to present their design
at a national aviation event summer 2011. A notice of
intent is strongly encouraged.
We hope you will participate in the Competition and make colleagues and students
aware of this as well. An electronic flyer is attached for your convenience in sharing
with your membership.
Please feel free to contact me or Debbie Ross (dross@odu.edu) if you have
any questions.
