Although those courses were notevaluated during that visit because they were an experimental offering, a curriculum review wasunderway and an implementation plan for updating the curriculum was subject to scrutiny duringthat visit. As the full plan was implemented, a programming course, an introductory course inflight mechanics, and a graphics communication course were eliminated in favor of including allof the original elements of those required courses into this introductory sequence.1 The impetus Page 13.227.2of establishing the introductory sequence was in seeking to increase retention of students bymaking them feel more connected with the

The objectives of the course catered towards – (i) Introducing Systems Engineeringfor PNMSats, (ii) Engage students in the design of a PNMSat with a novel payload and (iii)Foster leadership and team development through learning stages. The course agenda consisted of3 phases and the following outcomes were sought for assessing the success of the course.1. Demonstrate a basic understanding of PNMSats and their purpose.2. Demonstrate an understanding of systems engineering and its need for the design and development of PNMSats.3. Envision a project life cycle of a PNMSat mission and plan to be successful.4

According to the FBI press release given December 19, 2014, notonly was a large amount of sensitive data stolen from SPE but, “The attacks also renderedthousands of SPE’s computers inoperable, forced SPE to take its entire computer networkoffline, and significantly disrupted the company’s business operations.” 5Attackers have proven that they have the capability to perform large-scale operations againsthigh-profile targets. With these capabilities it is not feasible to assume that a plan to quarantinecompromised systems in wake of a cyber-attack while maintaining service availability will be apossible recovery method in the future.

requirements. • Requiring students to plan their own flight tests, and then conduct them exposes the students to a part of flight test engineering that normally is not addressed in a classroom setting. Further, by requiring students to plan a test, the criteria that define a given test such as risk level are given meaning. • Giving students a list of requirements to fulfill for a test instead of specifying exact calculations fulfills two objectives. First it exposes students to the real-life processes that would be required of a flight test organization. Second, it gives a moderately defined assignment that requires students to use creativity to fulfill their assignments

Careful selection of components and use of inexpensiveoff-the-shelf microelectronic mechanical systems (MEMS) devices are necessary to meet theserequirements1.
