Third Annual Exploration Space Grant Faculty Senior Design Training

NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEO) is hosting a free 2-day faculty workshop during the summer of 2012 (dates are still to be determined), at NASA Kennedy Space Center.  The purpose of this workshop is to prepare higher education faculty to implement the following Exploration senior engineering design course with a strong focus on the NASA systems engineering process:

"Habitats in Extreme Environments"

Developed by

Louisiana State University Professors

Dr.’s Craig Harvey, Laura Ikuma and Gerald Knapp

To review the course visit http://cmie.lsu.edu/nasa/

The course meets the quality standards of an ABET-accredited program and implements the NASA systems engineering process.  All NASA engineering projects utilize this process; therefore, the course will help prepare students to work for NASA and space industry partners.  Course materials will be available online following the workshop.
