formulating a problem statement that is supported by scholarly research.

For this activity, you will formulate a problem statement that is supported by scholarly research. This is the foundation of your research project; as such, your instructor will work with you to approve your chosen problem.
You will begin by choosing a real-world current or emerging problem in the aviation maintenance career field. This can be an area of the industry in which you currently work or plan to work after graduation [Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Management].
The problem must be focused and feasible. The title of your project should reflect the guidelines in the current APA manual.
Following your problem statement, you will include a brief explanation of why this is a problem and what results will be achieved through your research. Consider what your optimal recommendation would do for the industry. Even small changes can have a large impact in high-consequence industries such as aviation. Minor improvements to safety, for example, can have long-term, lasting impacts on daily operations.
