reportedgreater interest in space system design after each workshop.Finally, several key subsystems were designated as capstone senior design projects formechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering students. Delegating these projects to studentsin the capstone course (many of whom were not previously involved in WALI) providesaccountability for key tasks, as the students are required to complete the projects to pass theclass. In a university that does not offer a designated spacecraft design course, these individualdesign projects can serve many of the same functions.Preliminary results of these initiatives are positive. There are currently more than 20 activeWALI members and 10 senior design team members working on CubeSat-related projects

The topic of spacedebris was introduced in these classes and it was found that this field can serve as a veryelaborate example pool for applied orbital mechanics, mission planning, spacecraft design (busand payload), remote sensing and space surveillance, and classes in a traditional liberal artscurriculum such as history, policy, and law.Projects like the analysis of satellite fragmentations, interactive web based flux directionalitycalculations, and the long term effects of perturbations on a satellite’s orbit are a few exampleson how this important topic can be included in a university curriculum. Undergraduate studentshave been integrated into research projects in addition to the classes

the emphasis is on getting to depth in every aspect, while obtaining perspective and learning the essentials quickly.The roots of this project started in the 1990s, as industry and government hiring and trainingpatterns changed drastically from the large weapon-system programs of the Cold War to thesmall-team, multidisciplinary contract-hunting environment. The traditional curriculum hadlinear course sequences in different discipline streams, coming together in senior-year“capstone” design experiences. During the Cold War era, large-company recruiting emphasizedcorporate training after school. To prepare students for the small-team environment that came upin the 1990s, we moved towards increasing comprehension levels, and enabling students

A month after his arrival at NASA, the last Apollo mission, Apollo 17, was launched. Obviously, that was exciting, but in terms of his career, the commencement of the Space Shuttle Program in November 1972 was to have far more impact. As a result, Kanipe was able to begin his career working on what he says was the most interesting and exciting project he could possibly imagine: the Space Shuttle.

, Texas A&M University Isaac Sabat’s program of research broadly focuses on understanding and improving the working lives of stigmatized employees. He is particularly interested in examining strategies in which these employees can engage, such as disclosing or acknowledging their identities, to effectively remediate the workplace obstacles that they face. He has conducted various interrelated projects that examine how the effectiveness of expressing one’s identity is impacted by the extent to which stigmas are previously known, visible, or discovered by others over time. This is a novel area, given that disclosures have previously been conceptualized as a dichotomous, all-or-nothing phenomenon. This work has been

Experiential learning experiences such as capstone projects is one way for students togain hands on industry experience as they prepare to enter the industry [3]. Other ways studentscan gain hands on experience is through internships and cooperative programs. Throughcollaborative projects between schools and industry, students learn to: • apply theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems, • communicate effectively with their industry consultants and fellow student team members, • understand financial impacts of problem solutions, • work in teams, • to understand industry demands such
