This course was specifically positioned to exercise core-engineering competencies: understanding of societal needs and use of scientific andmathematical principles, technologies and fabrication, and communication principles. It alsoexercises algorithms to solve engineering problems and to develop creativity.The course incorporates numerous active learning strategies. These include projects, laboratories,lecture-based exercises, individual and team exercises with persistent feedback from both atechnical and technical communications instructor.

a variety of technologies and subsystems. Opportunities to understand the iterative aspects of spacecraft design are limited. Methods todevelop students’ awareness of iteration beyond introducing iteration in different design modelsare lacking in engineering education in general, and in aerospace engineering education inparticular. One of the challenges being faced by faculty in the field of aeronautics andastronautics is teaching space systems design and engineering in an effective way. Unliketraditional engineering fields, including the closely related field of aeronautics, teaching spacesystems design and engineering is difficult because of the lack of opportunities to go through anentire cycle from system conception to system
