A decade ago, Ethan caught the aviation bug, and now he's in Geography and Aviation at the University of Waterloo. His experience has been enriched with top-tier courses and flight training.
Through the collaboration of many disciplines and help from multiple faculties, Waterloo aviation students were able to use their skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to quantify the impacts of flight operations at our local airport on surrounding communities.
Electric aviation offers a solution to airport noise by replacing the fossil fuel engine with a quiet electric motor. Of course, there is still noise from the propeller, so how big is the reduction in noise by changing to electric power?

At Waterloo’s Fall Convocation, Naomi Paul (SYDE BASc ’22) was the first student to earn a Master of Applied Science in the Collaborative Aeronautics Program (CAP), an interdisciplinary research program offered by the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics (WISA). As a CAP partner department, students in Systems Design Engineering graduate programs can add the ‘Aeronautics’ designation to their degrees by completing aeronautical training with their research work.
Samuel from the Aviation Student Ambassador Program (ASAP) explains the importance of support and inspiration to aspiring aviators, along with his desire to bring this positive energy to the community.
