Homework: There will be homework assignments that are related to each week's reading. Homework will be discussed in class and form a basis for the final exam. Homework must be submitted by Friday March 16, 2001, no late homework will be accepted.

Term Project: A 10-15 page term paper on a topic of the student’s choice is required. Students are encouraged to select a topic that relates airport planning and design to their own background or interests. For example, materials, environmental impacts, airport economics. etc Students may also work in groups of two, but the report must reflect the increased level of effort. A 10 minutes class presentation.
