The Advanced Aviation Analytics Institute for Research (A3IR-CORE), a University-level Center of Research Excellence that resides in the Department of Aviation Technology, is focused on the dual mission of solving industry problems and providing educational experiences for students by actively involving both graduate and undergraduate student researchers working closely with faculty mentors in a highly-collaborative multidisciplinary environment. The Center is sponsored by industry partners, and a portion of the research performed is done so in conjunction with those partners. The research agenda of the Center is concentrated primarily in the area of operational assessment and improvement of the aviation enterprise. This work is accomplished through three divisions: an internal division which works with the Aviation Technology Department’s flight and maintenance operations, an external division working with industry sponsors, and a scholarship division which disseminates the research of the first two divisions through internationally-recognized conferences and peer-reviewed scholarly journals.
