ESMD Student Accomplishments

Student teams participating in senior design projects through the ESMD Space Grant Project and teams that entered selected approved national competitions  were invited to submit a systems engineering paper. These papers were judged by a team of NASA judges. The first place team won a cash scholarship of $3500, second place $2500, and third place $1500. All teams will be given tickets for VIP seating at an upcoming launch.
