We often collaborate directly with industry on-site! Student teams conduct process mapping and hazard analysis, task analysis, review technical work instructions, and job-shadow front line engineers and technicians to determine the best type of technology design requirements.

Projects typically focus on mid-level innovations on existing technologies. Although once we accidentally created some cool new software and won a national competition...weird, huh?
​
Project teams reference AS 9100 global quality standards for Aviation, Space and Defense (AS&D) and incorporate Industry 4.0 tools and practices like:
-
The Digital Thread
-
Air Vehicle Lifecycle Management and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) philosophy
