Prepare cadets to deliver innovative solutions to the world's most pressing economics and geospatial problems
关于我们
The Department of Economics and Geosciences (DFEG) at the U.S. Air Force Academy empowers leaders with skills and perspectives to assess, understand, and influence the world around them. To prepare leaders for our nation’s Air and Space Forces, DFEG encourages cadets to engage with the world around them, study diverse cultures and organizations, physical or institutional landscapes, economic and geographic relationships, and specialize in state-of-the-art economic or geospatial data processing tools and techniques. Geospatial Science majors may specialize in key subfields including physical, human, and regional geography, or techniques such as digital image processing and geographic information systems (GIS). After foundational courses including rigorous two-course sequences in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics, Economics majors broaden their studies through a menu of field courses, including game theory, sports and labor economics, development and conflict, and money and banking.

?? ?????????????? ??????????????: ???????????? ???????????? ?????????????? ???????????????? ?? Three of our cadets were in the right place at the right time on I-25 North late in the evening on September 7. While cars continued to pass a one-vehicle wreck, C1C Nicole Hedges, C1C Tobias Temple and C2C Wyatt Bell pulled over to help a driver trapped inside her overturned car. These cadet heroes credited multiple aspects of their #USAFA training, beginning with the Leader of Character Framework. As Tobias says, “I believe everyone has to feel a strong obligation to do the right thing. The Academy highlights the necessity to service before self. That night shows how our training builds your moral compass.” ??Read more about the cadets’ highway heroism: https://lnkd.in/gxxJUxJB #LeadersofCharacter #Heroes #ServiceBeforeSelf #NeverQuitNeverSettle #AllGritNoQuit

Last semester we offered a special topics course on Health Economics for Policy & Management. Most of the students commissioned into the Health Services career field, but one of them had the amazing opportunity to build upon the foundation established in our course at the Hoover Institute's Summer Policy Boot Camp!
Five #USAFA cadets majoring in Political Science participated in the Hoover Institution's Summer Policy Boot Camp at Stanford University last month. These cadets were competitively selected alongside Ivy League graduate and undergraduate students to participate?in the one-week intensive program. ? They received instruction on fiscal policy, education, health care, deterrence and national security, and foreign relations from world-renowned government officials and scholars, such as Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Secretary Jim Mattis, Ambassador Jendayi Frazer. ? #LeadersofCharacter #PoliSci?

Seeking real-world problems for next year's Operations Research students to solve! Now that the United States Air Force Academy class of 2024 is graduated and enjoying some well-deserved time off, it's time for me to "prep the battlefield" for the class of 2025. Each year, our United States Air Force Academy, Department of Management's Operations Research Course takes on a variety of ill-defined problems from military, government, business and/or non-profit organizations. The goal of the course is to have teams of students (with faculty support) work through real-world problems and deliver data-driven solutions near the end of the academic year (i.e. April 2025). Operations Research cadets specialize in analytics and building mathematical models for decision support. They take classes in economics, management, computers science, and math (and of course aeronautical engineering, astronautical engineering and all of the other required Air Force Academy courses). They are especially familiar with math programming (e.g., optimization), simulation, queuing analysis, decision trees, and mathematical forecasting. In recent years, teams have worked on a wide-variety of projects including scheduling pilots and airspace, improving an elementary school’s student pick-up process, and creating a model to simulate opposing pitchers for our AF Baseball team. If you have business problems/decisions/questions to solve/make/answer, relevant data available to analyze, and the time to work with a group of students over the next year, this could be a great opportunity to leverage the expertise of our students and faculty members! I'm especially interested in finding project sponsors in the local Colorado Springs or Denver areas since they provide easier opportunities for in-person interactions. Prospective project sponsors need to submit a written project proposal to me by August 1st. The best proposals will pitch the projects to the cadets later in August. Send me a message and I'll gladly reach out to you with additional info and project proposal guidance.
