Faculty and Research

Current Research and Recent Publications

Students in the College of Aeronautics have the unique opportunity to work alongside professors to perform real-world research starting at the undergraduate level and continuing throughout their academic careers. The undergraduate student research posters and some other projects can be found in the Evans Library Scholarship repository: Aeronautics Student Publications | College of Aeronautics | Florida Institute of Technology. However, research at the College of Aeronautics is not just a professor’s "pet project." Students present at conferences and go on to have their work published in peer-reviewed journals — giving them valuable experience and a leg up on the competition when starting their careers.

Below are some of the aviation topics that College of Aeronautics faculty and students are currently researching and publications in these areas, many of which students helped to develop.  Visit our Research Stories page to read more about the wide variety of research at the College of Aeronautics.
