Hi Kate -

I think it is an interesting idea - I am not sure how much
actual Physics is involved, but it may be a good problem
solving exercise for interested members of the SPS for example
if they are still looking for projects. I would check with Paulo,
the SPS advisor, whether he thinks it is worth forwarding to the SPS.

Do you think this would be good to send to the PHYSICS students?

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased that the FAA has decided to continue the FAA Design
Competition for Universities for the 2008 - 2009 academic year!  The
Competition has added a new challenge area for Airport Management and
Planning.  We hope you will participate in the Competition and make
colleagues and students aware of this as well.

The Competition guidelines and many resources are posted at the Competition
website:  http://www.faa.gov/runwaysafety/design_competition.htm

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 the AAAE annual meeting in Philadelphia, PA in June 2009.  A notice of
intent is strongly encouraged.

An email announcement is attached for your convenience in sharing with
individuals you feel would have an interest in the Competition.

Please feel free to contact me or Debbie Ross (dr...@odu.edu) if you have
any questions.
