Starting with the report and telemetry data showing that something was wrong with thespacecraft, the engineering team identifies and solves a multitude of problems. Initially, thereare sharp differences over what to do. Once a course of action has been developed, the teamfaced many problems with severe constraints and a high degree of uncertainty. Also, it isapparent that the chances for success were poor; it was not clear that the team could bring thecrew home

Her office in a nearby town was close enough to the highschool to permit regular visits as registration approached. Her efforts to recruit and register thetrial group saved the program from failure before it began. The initial student body surveycontained over 250 names of interested students. Subsequent selection by the high school staffproduced 12 students. By the last day of spring registration only one of these students was able toafford the cost of tuition.

This was demonstrated atthe final ceremony when three of the students stated that the course had inspired them to attendcollege. This was in addition to the other students that expressed interest in attending collegeduring the course and in the months following the course completion.

MultiSim is a multifaceted software program designed to allow designers to construct, in virtual space, analog and or digital circuits and simulate their response behavior. It also allows the user to observe and measure various circuit parameters via a host of “virtual instruments.” Students are required to “paper design” their projects and then prepare a MultiSim computer simulation of that design. This computer simulation tool is initially used to verify the students’ preliminary paper designs. In other words, will their application of equations and theory, as acquired in class lectures and associated laboratories actually lead to a workable piece of hardware
