Start asking professors if they are willing to serve as your team’s advisor. Each team MUST have an eligible U.S. Citizen/LPR faculty advisor listed at the time of the Preliminary Design Review Submission. Role of Faculty Advisor: Faculty advisors take on the role as mentors, and if a team is selected as a finalist, help manage any university coordinated travel and monetary reimbursements, ensuring they are disbursed appropriately (according to your university’s protocols) to enable the team’s full participation in the FAA TFM-AID Forum. The student team leader and advisor will also jointly receive email updates and reminders about the competition to distribute to the rest of the team.
