The FAA Traffic Flow Management – Application Integration Design Challenge is a student-led initiative. Faculty advisors should serve as mentors, allowing students to do the bulk of the work on projects. For teams selected as finalists, faculty advisors will further be responsible for ensuring that their team gets adequate access to the university resources and labs they need to successfully complete their project as proposed.  Additionally, they’ll be responsible for helping students coordinate travel through the university, and for communicating with FAA TFM-AID Challenge Program Staff for travel reimbursement to the university for team travel.  As long as the advisor is employed by the university to teach a class and/or perform research, and is either a U.S. Citizen or a lawful permanent resident, they qualify as a faculty advisor.
