Research at the College of Aeronautics
The College of Aeronautics' programs incorporate a multi-disciplinary approach to research that spans across various programs including engineering, human factors, safety, psychology, computer science and biology. Courses are designed to help students become more comfortable and familiar with conducting research, a vital part of any degree program.
The College of Aeronautics manages an impressive inventory of aircraft and simulators that are available for research, as well as a large pool of qualified instructor and student pilots holding various ratings and certificates that are accessible participants. Additionally, students have access to various labs and other facilities such as the Advancing Technology and Learning in Aviation Systems (ATLAS) lab, Airport Management and Development lab, Air Traffic Control lab, Basic Aviation Training Device (BATD) Lab, Human Factors: Aeronautics, Safety, Sociability, Interfaces, Sustainability, & Training (HF ASSIST) Lab, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) lab, and the Emil Buehler Center For Aviation Training and Research.
Our Alumni Association and faculty provide our students with direct connections to organizations such as NASA, FAA, Air Force Research Lab, L3Harris Corp, Northrop Grumman, Avidyne, Garmin and many of the commercial pilot associations.
Undergraduate & Graduate Research
The College of Aeronautics promotes student understanding of and participation in research. For example, in Aviation Research (AVT4002), a senior undergraduate course, students plan, conduct, and present group research projects on a variety of aviation-related topics from aviation management and human factors to safety and aviation environmental science. Topics are instructor-approved and vary by semester. A range of other courses such as Human Performance (AHF 4301, AHF 5201) also offer students opportunities to conduct research as part of the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) and publish this research.
A sampling of some prior research:
- Decision making and the Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT)
- Willingness to fly with two pilots, a single pilot, and a single pilot with Artificial Intelligence
- FlyKey – An Airport Environmental Interaction Airport App
- Effect of attrition of ramp agents on ground operations incidents
- The relationship between airport size and ground operations incidents
- Academic workload, perceived stress, and Willingness to pilot
- Passenger Safety
- Speech recognition system Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs)
- Unruly passenger reports before and during the mask mandate
- Rate of wildlife strike reports by damage category
College of Aeronautics undergraduates, recent graduates, and faculty members frequently present research at conferences and publish.
