Human Errors – Factors due to human errors affecting and influencing the success or failure of a space mission are explored. Specifically, three important concepts, (i) Assembly Errors, (ii) Parts Manufacturing Errors, and (iii) Operator Errors are investigated and their effect on space missions’ success. Importance of proper documenting of design procedures, assembly and operational procedures are stressed. Critical issues with documentation of parts as well as testing and manufacturing data for various components are discussed. Consequences of such errors to space mission budget, schedule

In lieu of pre-determined, static requirements,students would be allowed the opportunity to choose their path of study. As with traditional methods of education, rewards may be incorporated within thelearning process.

It is critical that engineers understand the broader societal impacts of their proposedsolutions and evaluate the tradeoffs between the value of technical work and the public good.However, many instructors find it difficult to effectively introduce sociotechnical concepts intofoundational engineering science courses [4]. Engineering education should seek to teach beyondtechnical practicalities and offer the valuable contexts of engineering in society.
