Airport Engineering and Management is new in the Airport Series of short courses. This course is more for engineers, managers, and consultants at airports rather than airport planners. This course incorporates some planning elements while concentrating more on the engineering level details of airport management. It is a new, exciting, and innovative look at airport management. We will feature a number of experts with recent experience in security, project development and management, airport finance, environmental analysis, obstruction clearances, and master plans. One objective of this course is for airport managers and others to understand the technical issues and analyses of modern airport management.
