Once the payload design and fabrication was finished, a final document called Flight Readiness Review (FRR) had to be completed to assess whether each payload could be operated safely without any harm to the others.Launch, Recovery and Science Presentation During the last week of the 9 week long summer program, the teams traveled to Palestine, Texas to launch their payloads from NASA’s Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility. In all there were 9 payloads, most of them developed by the student teams either from current or previous PACER programs or from LSU students. Each payload was

15.89.3ImplementationA simplified approach to documentation control is desirable in an academic setting. Asimple structure mimics the limited scope that novice engineers encounter when startingtheir careers. A simple structure also allows for a standardized list of deliverables whichfacilitate assessment of diverse project work using a common rubric.This work is targeted as an aid to those who have studied design methodology in anacademic setting, or have only been involved in design in a research and developmentcapacity. Acting as instructors for students who may be employed as field, line orapplication engineers who might interface with a purchasing department, a manufacturingfacility or an external consulting organization will require a different skill set

The goal for any engineering student should of course be to become technically proficient, but,also, to graduate with the skill of practicing their profession amongst a world of non-technicalprofessionals. This means smearing the lines between the technical engineering knowledge and the non-technical knowledge and skill relevant to the practice of their engineering.Industry partnerships for the development and execution of case studies are a viable method to achievethis balance of technical application with the non-technical understanding.
