Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Choose one civil project and explain the site constraint, design criteria, calculation or drawing work, review process and what you learned from field conditions.

Study how runways, taxiways, drainage, terminals and landside infrastructure interact. Prepare a question about how consultants coordinate design, construction and airport operations without disrupting safety.
