Air Force Institute of Technology Graduate School of Engineering and Management: 2018 Annual Report

Abstract

Welcome to the 2018 Annual Report of the Graduate School of Engineering and Management at the Air Force Institute of Technology. Exciting things continue to happen in our teaching, research, service, and Air Force consultation missions. We continue to thrive on the leading edge ofdefense-focused research to maintain the global technological superiority of the US Air Force. I am delighted to draw your attention to the special coverage of AFITs new Nuclear Research Center in this annual report. The coverage highlights how AFIT has taken a leading role in leveraging diverse education and research to support US Air Force missions at home and abroad. As an advanced STEM educational institution, AFIT is playing a major role in the advancement of teaching and research in several areas of science and engineering. In recent months, I have become more and more enthused by the global spread and impacts being brought about by the National Academy of Engineerings (NAE) 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering. Many of the challenges align with the critical areas in which AFIT is making contributions from a warfighter perspective that ultimately impacts general STEM applications through structural tech transfer strategies. For your quick reference, the 14 challenges are listed in the sidebar on this page. The rapidly growing displays on our Patents Display Wall attest to our diverse technical contributions that fit the themes espoused by the grand challenges. Through this annual report, please join us on our journey of excellence in meeting the needs of the warfighter as well as the needs of society at large. We look forward to your continuing engagement and advocacy for the academic and research programs in the Graduate School of Engineering and Management at the Air Force Institute of Technology.
