Center of Excellence for Airport Technology A Partnership in Research and Outreach with the Federal Aviation Administration and the O’Hare Modernization Program David Lange Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Our Mission is… To develop new scientific knowledge and technology for the development, maintenance and operation of airports –“Improve ability to make good decisions” How do we do this? –By conducting research in cooperation with government, industry and the private sector Who do we impact? –Enriching the engineering community through technology transfer –Educating a diverse student population –Leading the public to appreciate its investment in airport infrastructure.
