student teams have gained so much in working through the design, fabrication, and testing of their own real NASA projects. I know for a fact that the engineering students benefit immeasurably for the written reports and oral presentations required by TSGC of student teams. The fact that they have to research, design, manage the prototype development of a product forces the application of many theories learned in the classrooms. These students are being exposed to the real world of Engineering R&D; where as, there is a detachment from the real world in our classrooms. I wish that your program could be expanded in the number of teams that can participate in the Texas Space Grant Consortium Design

project was conceived of as a paper design which tookinto account diverse subjects including, but not limited to, marketing, legal regulations,and systems engineering. As the culmination of four years of aerospace engineering education, the projectwas intended to test the students’ abilities to manage a complex engineering design task.It was quickly realized that the project held many unique challenges specific to rocketrywhich had not been explicitly addressed in previous classes. Therefore, the projectrequired much independent research on rocketry-specific concepts. With this realization,the members of the Earthrise Group intended the project as a way of promoting theexpansion of space systems engineering within the college.Project

solutionsrequire years of development and tens of millions of dollars (or more) – and still run a high riskof failure.In the design and fabrication of aerospace vehicles, the role of the systems engineer is to ensurethat a vehicle is created that meets the mission objectives within the constraints of cost, scheduleand risk. Good systems engineers bring great value to their organizations, but universities are notyet producing good systems engineers.1,2 Many schools offer graduate-level programs in systemsengineering, which focus on computational tools and management strategies. These tools areessential to the role, but the tools are only one aspect of the job. Moreover, the authors believethat undergraduates can and should receive better training in the

This drives further studentinvolvement in terms of follow-on graduate projects and senior design projects. It also serves to attractpositive attention to UAF aerospace and other engineering programs, drawing additional students,talented faculty, and agency support.

We conductedthis research with the intent of designing learning interventions to improve engineering students’ability to understand and manage uncertainty in design. From previous research we learned oneof the most significant factors in successfully managing uncertainty is incorporating teamwork.While there is significant research on the topic of design, and to a lesser extent uncertainty, thereis virtually no existing research pertaining to the intersection of uncertainty, design, andteamwork.
