This graduate program is supported by the Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL), which Dr. Schrage helped to initiate in 1992. In 1995, the Space Systems Design Laboratory (SSDL) was formed and now both ASDL and SSDL are overseen by the Center for Aerospace Systems Analysis (CASA), which Dr. Schrage co-directs. This unique graduate program consists of five required graduate courses for a master’s degree and has attracted over 200 graduate students into the program. Most of these students were outstanding undergraduate students either at Georgia Tech or other leading engineering schools around the

Each of the five teams created a preliminary design concept from these activities.Students kept design logs for all of their design activities. They also maintained electronicdesign logs of their electronic communications, drawings, and design ideas. These electronicartifacts were the main avenues of communication between UNICAMP and Pitt students. Inaddition, students conducted their design activities in a special design laboratory, which recordedthe design processes in video and audio format (with the students’ consent and according to IRBguidelines).The teams then refined their designs during a weeklong visit to Brazil in early March.

A common struggle was,and continues to be, finding the balance between treating SCOPE as teaching multiple sectionsof the same course and therefore requiring common practices; versus acknowledging that eachproject is unique and therefore requires specific decisions regarding policies such asadvising/mentorship and grading.
