Abstract:Universities can and should make vital contributions to national needs in
aviation human factors. However, to guide and utilize university research
effectively we must understand what types of expertise and facilities
universities can bring to bear on aviation problems. We should be aware of
where relevant research is already underway and where untapped potential exists.
How does the character of research in universities differ from and complement
research in government and industry laboratories? What conditions would
encourage universities to focus on national priorities and would promote high
quality, relevant research? This paper attempts to address these issues. It is
based on a survey conducted by the author, which included site visits to
several universities, telephone interviews with faculty members at other
universities, and a search of the aviation human factors research literature.
