It also shares how librarians and instructors canpartner to support the needs of undergraduate students in the engineering classroom.IntroductionTechnical standards are specifications that are developed and agreed upon by industry experts,professional organizations, and governments to ensure that products, processes, and services areconsistent, reliable, and compatible with each other. These standards are intended to promote safety,quality, interoperability, and

Given that satellites are highly complex systemsrequiring multidisciplinary design and engineering, JPL’s interest isunderstandable. In addition to having funding in place prior to the start of the semester, thefaculty involved recruited local industries to collaborate on the project. Theseinclude local boat builders Hatteras Yachts and Wilderness Systems, and a navalarchitecture/marine-engineering firm, the Dawson Marine Group.
