Higher Education / Senior Design Programs

Higher education programs are those taking place at the collegiate level and encompass those activities which serve students, faculty, and/or the institution. Activities include, but are not limited to, curriculum development, design and implementation of new major and minor areas of study, hands-on activities, conferences, other student support (exclusive of scholarships; includes undergraduate, but not graduate level) research related activities, and workshops as well as the development and dissemination of software, problem sets, videos, publications, and labs. Higher education programs are excellent vehicles for Space Grant to promote the use of mentors and role models as well as establish interdisciplinary courses and centers.

Moreover LaSPACE will support aerospace related Senior Design projects and/or space related competitions (e.g. Moonbuggy).

Higher Education/Senior Design projects will be funded on a “resources available” basis from the NASA grant that supports the LaSPACE efforts.
