Graduate Student Acccomplishments

Flying High: How Three Graduate Students Plan to Modernize Air Traffic Control

​

Of the many opportunities students can find at Cal State East Bay, among them are challenges free from the pressure of a graded course. One example of this, and the success you can find when you give it a shot, is the FAA-TFM-AID. This challenge, available to college students across the country and hosted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), stands for the Federal Aviation Administration Traffic Flow Management Application Integration Design Challenge​. The goal? To design the new layout for the FAA’s traffic flow manager, a system meant to manage all the different factors required to keep planes in the air and landing smoothly, with less strain for the air traffic controllers.

Of the finalists of this challenge, three of Cal State East Bay’s own Pioneers were chosen to present their work, known as the AVA dashboard, in Washington D.C. on June 28. The group, led by Associate Professor of Art Ian Pollock, is composed of the graduate student creators Ferdi Augusta, Jonathan Crescenzo and Patrice Reynolds. Together, they are hoping to create the newest flight management system which the FAA may use across the country.
