The AIAA Ground Testing Technical Committee, working in conjunction with the
AIAA Student Programs Office and numerous aerospace companies, is pleased to
offer an aerospace engineering contest to graduate and undergraduate students in
aerospace, aeronautical, and related engineering academic programs. The purpose
of this contest is to provide an opportunity for interested engineering students
to broaden their learning and understanding of the role of ground testing in the
aerospace discipline. The winners will be invited to attend and participate in
an AIAA professional conference.
The contest is open
to all junior and senior undergraduate and all graduate students in an ABET
accredited engineering program or an equivalent engineering program offered by a
degree granting institution recognized by the AIAA.
Participants must have continuous enrollment in their program of study throughout
the contest period, August 2001 through May 2002. Teams of 1 to 6 qualified students can
submit a project. Projects can be an extramural project, part of a design or
special projects course, or be part or all of a graduate student thesis. It is
essential that the work reported be primarily the work of the student (team) and
that the contributions of others outside the team be clearly indicated.
To
enter, submit an abstract, 500 words or less detailing the Problem Description,
Project Relevance, Research Approach, and Potential Outcome. Include a cover
letter containing the level for each student (junior, senior, M.S, or Ph.D.),
mailing address, telephone number and facsimile number, signature of each
student (team) member, and signature of the faculty advisor of the project. Also
include a signed statement by the AIAA faculty advisor stating that the project
meets the requirements set forth herein.
A team of engineers and scientists
from industry, government, and academia will evaluate the abstracts and final
reports.
Final project submission details will be mailed upon receipt of the
abstract.
Mail abstracts to:
Bonnie Johnson,
Director of Aerodynamic Labs
