of solar furnaces he designed to help a low income community reduce their energy bills. This project was recently featured on NPR, the Denver Post and earned him the title ”Community Game Changer of the Month” from CBS Denver. He also was recently nominated for the Carnegie U.S. Professor of the Year award and the Presidential Award for STEM mentoring, both related to this project. Previous to his academic career Aaron Brown worked in the aerospace industry on such projects as the Mars Curiosity landing mechanism and Hubble robotics mission.Dr. Jeno Balogh, Metropolitan State University of Denver Page 26.274.1

careers. Dante is a consultant (former research assistant) for the Space Systems Group (SSG), a graduate research team advised by Professor Norman Fitz-Coy in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. SSG designed and developed a cube satellite mission known as SwampSat, which launched in 2013. SwampSat is a CubeSat for on-orbit demonstration of a compact three-axis attitude control system de- veloped at UF geared to affect rapid retargeting and precision pointing (R2P2) of pico-class (1 kg) and nano-class (<10 kg) spacecraft. Through Dante’s leadership, SSDC won the Annual Florida University Nano-SATellite (FUNSAT) design competition sponsored by the Florida Space Grant Consortium and Space

deficiency in generative thinking at the systemlevel in students. The lack of courses where students are challenged to integrate all the knowledge they Page 26.1271.6have acquired during their undergraduate engineering career, and the high volume of demand ofengineers with system integration knowledge has led some engineering schools to developgraduate programs that educate engineers on how to incorporate all their engineering backgroundknowledge, and experience in the practical development of engineering systems. For example,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers a graduate system engineering program thatemphasizes the importance of
