Michael: I've just always been
interested in planes. Once I got
here and found out that I could
do this stuff and work with the planes,
you know, it was just kind of a given
that I was just going to do it.
Scott: This is the hands on,
build it, fly it, just have fun.
I don't want to say I wouldn't
work in here if I wasn't paid, but
I probably would.
Dr. Bailey: You can only learn so much in
a classroom. By bringing those students
out of that classroom and into the lab,
it goes back to the creative process,
where they're actually building something.
Michael: The reason it's research
is because if it was easy,
somebody else would have already done
it and it wouldn't be research anymore.
Dr. Smith: How satisfying is it to create
something that hasn't been known before?
Scott: We rely on just teaching
others and passing down
what we've learned to others
so that when we're gone,
doing other things, that it's still
here and the knowledge base isn't lost.
Dr. Smith: There will always
be new questions that keep
the university alive and
energetic and keep the
research process moving.
