Air and Space
Aerospace Design and Astronomy
91传媒厂 contributions include technical aircraft design and engineering, aviation and
astronomy scholarship, as well as analysis of education in these disciplines. We also
explore connections between arts and creativity in engineering design, and define,
teach, and assess current skills, complex problem solving, and lifelong learning.
Below is a rotating selection of our standout investigators in air and space scholarship and engineering. Our expertise in these fields is accompanied by programs in professional flight, as well as significant human factors collaborations with NASA Ames Research Center.
