Tohelp eliminate the negative effects of the microgravity environment, a spinning structure wouldsimulate a gravitational pull. As a first major step in this direction, a spinning space stationwould allow a means by which to study the long term effects of this kind of environment whilein relatively close proximity to the Earth.

Thefirst portion covers the description of the lab project, including objective(s), required parts/partdescription and step-by-step tutorial instructions. The second part requires the students to applythe knowledge learned from the lecture and the first lab portion to solve the specific project. Toincrease the quality of writing [13] and presenting, the students will be asked to submit designoverview reports in the end of each lab and give bi-weekly oral presentations on their
