Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Analysis of NRE Fees for American Airlines

The project mainly involves creating a standardized tool to help American Airlines evaluate the cost of Non-Recurring Engineering fees (NRE fees) that arise as a result of maintenance and repairs on airplanes. Since there are few manufacturers licensed by the FAA to complete these modifications, let alone have the capabilities to complete them, American Airlines is often charged substantial fees to complete even minor work. The team will begin by conducting academic research looking into how parallel industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, High-Tech Manufacturing, etc. deal with heavily regulated modifications. We will then use this academic research to building a framework that American Airlines is able to use to estimate the fair cost of completing some of these modifications. The hope is that American Airlines can use this framework to determine whether they are being charged fair prices, and if they are not, to use the framework as leveraging tool in negotiations.
