In comparison, USAFA currently provides their juniors ahands-on experience during a two-day lab with a pre-fabricated satellite kit. This paperevaluates curriculum changes that would allow undergraduate students the opportunity to create,test, and learn from their own satellite designs and evaluates the groundwork for thedevelopment of this labor intensive and challenging curriculum at the undergraduate level.Key words: Satellite Design, Hands-on Curriculum, Hardware Build and Test* The views expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not reflect the official policy

Project competitions and Conferences and Seminars can facilitate this overcoming of limitations of Formal Education.3.0 Conclusion: Transformation of an Engineering Student to a Global Engineer is much needed to reflect the challenges and opportunities of the unprecedented changes World-Wide. The constraints and barriers that Engineering Education operates in should not be allowed to reduce the pace of this transformation. Professional Societies, through International Collaborations can become key enablers in embedding this dimension at all levels of Engineering education.References : 1. Profile of

is a strategicissue of great importance to the nation. With society’s growing need for energy and energy-related workforce, many institutionsare vying to take advantage of these opportunities and challenges. Some academic institutionswith traditional engineering programs (e.g., chemical, civil, mechanical, electrical and nuclearengineering) have created departments and/or programs in energy-related areas to reflect thegrowing need and trend. To move The Pennsylvania State University to the forefront in energy,the Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering proposed a formal undergraduate degreeprogram (Bachelor of Science) in the growing field of energy engineering.
