The Competition challenges individual students or teams of students (undergraduates and graduates) from U.S. colleges and universities, working under the mentorship of a faculty advi-sor, to address challenges in four broad areas: Airport Operations and Maintenance, Runway Safety/Runway Incursions, Environmental Interactions of Airports and Airport Management and Planning.

Competition guidelines and full details are available at: http://FAADesignCompetition.odu.edu<br />
Student and faculty participants in last year’s Competition overwhelmingly found participation in the Competition to be a valuable educational experience. Many cited the opportunity to inter-act with and confront industry professionals and experts on solving a modern, real world is-sues affecting airports to be a rewarding and purposeful experience. Participants can engage in the Competition in many ways — for example, as part of a design class, independent study, or a student professional society project.<br />
Please share this email with anyone you feel would have an interest in the Competition.<br />
