School of Engineering and Management Research Research Research is an integral part of the AFIT School of Engineering and Management graduate programs.
Strong emphasis is placed on research by both faculty and students.
Nearly all of this research is sponsored by Air Force laboratories. The proximity of the Institute to the excellent research facilities of the AFMC laboratories provides a unique opportunity to carry out this research. To stimulate research activities, the School has adopted the policy of allowing each faculty member to have one academic quarter per year free for research or other scholarly activity. In addition, the normal teaching load in other quarters may be reduced to afford individuals the opportunity for increased research. The formulation and pursuit of research are the responsibility of the individual faculty member, who is completely free in the selection of the subject and the pace of the investigation.
