Call for Research Ideas

Submit an abstract to be considered for presentation at the ATEC Annual Conference research roundtable.

The purpose of the research roundtable is to provide a forum for ATEC members to share their research. This roundtable is designed to encourage research collaboration, generate interest in aviation maintenance-related research, and encourage journal submissions to the ATEC Journal. Additionally, educators who require publications and presentations for tenure or promotion can use this as an opportunity to satisfy some of the requirements. Presenters will be selected based on abstract submissions as further outlined below.
 
Abstract submission requirements

• The abstract may be submitted with multiple authors.
• The abstract should contain a maximum of 250 words.
• The abstract should summarize the research and discuss how it is pertinent and beneficial to the ATEC community.

Note: The research project does not need to be completed, but each presenter/group must have current or previous relative findings to present at the conference.
 
Abstract review and selection
The abstract is due on Jan. 15, 2022. The review committee will select the abstracts for presentation by Feb. 1.
