The design for the vehicle originated from industry, and NASA supports theindustry proposal by funding the university for small scale construction and flight testing. Thestudents interact with both groups for direction and technical advice, which creates a tremendousamount of learning opportunities and motivation for the team. The project is organized as anextracurricular club activity that is purely voluntary and made up of students in severalengineering disciplines.

Many programs looked towards “double-counting,” essentially the practice of meeting multiple General Education (GE) requirements within a single course or within major courses. The College of Engineering (CoE) at SJSU elected to move more upper division GE Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) into major courses, with the expectation to simultaneously satisfy all GE requirements, ABET requirements, and unit caps while graduating a technical person. The CoE offers eight programs (Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Industrial & Systems Engineering), which are accredited by the Engineering
