2 The Need for STEM Inspiration STEM: Science Technology Engineering and Math Dropout rate (age 16-24) was 8.1% in 2009 (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. (2011). The Condition of Education 2011 (NCES ), Indicator 20) Percentage of public and private high school graduates taking selective courses (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, High School and Beyond Longitudinal Study of 1980 Sophomores (HS&B-So:80/82), "High School Transcript Study"; and 1987, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2000, and 2005 High School Transcript Study (HSTS). (This table was prepared January 2007.) Algebra I: 62.8% Calculus: 13.6% Physics: 32.7% 40% of students planning to be an engineer or science major in college end up switching or fail to get a degree ( 2

4 The Aerospace Dilemma 26-27% of aerospace workers were eligible to retire in 2008 The average age of the production worker is 44 in the commercial sector, 53 in defense, and 51 at NASA The proportion of workers under 30 dropped from 18% in 1987 to 8% in 1999 In a study of 500 aerospace workers, 80% said they would not recommend the aerospace field Nearly all aerospace jobs require the worker to be a US citizen (Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry, 2002) 4
5 GAO Testimony: Space Acquisitions DOD Faces Substantial Challenges in Developing New Space Systems Underlying Reasons for Cost and Schedule Growth pg 9 further, the reduction in government oversight and involvement led to major reductions in various government capabilities, including cost-estimating and systems-engineering staff. The loss of cost-estimating and systems-engineering staff in turn led to a lack of technical data needed to develop sound cost estimates. ( 5
6 GAO Testimony: Environmental Satellite Acquisitions Progress and Challenges Cost growth of major programs NPOESS: estimated $6.5 billion grew to $12.5 billion GOES-R: estimated at $6.2 billion grew to $11.4 billion Reasons for cost growth Inadequate systems engineering capabilities for overseeing contractors (pg 6) Addressed by UNP 6
7 Impact of Requirements Based Design 7
8 U.S. Space Policy (NSPD 49) Develop Space Professionals. Sustained excellence in space-related science, engineering, acquisition, and operational disciplines is vital to the future of U.S. space capabilities. Departments and agencies that conduct space related activities shall establish standard and implement activities to develop and maintain highly skilled, experienced, and motivated space professionals within their workforce. Strengthen and Maintain the U.S. Space-Related Science, Technology, and Industrial Base. A robust science, technology, and industrial base is critical for U.S. space capabilities. Departments and agencies shall: encourage new discoveries in space science and new applications of technology; and enable future space systems to achieve new and improved capabilities, including incentives for high-risk/highpayoff and transformational space capabilities. Additionally, departments and agencies shall: conduct the basic and applied research that increases capability and decreases cost; encourage an innovative commercial space sector, including the use of prize competitions; and ensure the availability of space related industrial capabilities in support of critical government functions. 8

17 Design Cycle - Mechanical 17
18 Design Cycle - Electrical 18
19 Educational Design Cycle UNP stresses that a successful program must have: A rigorous engineering program A small mistake on a spacecraft can jeopardize the entire program. A best effort does not work in space based systems The program must allow for big picture thinking while verifying the functionality of the hardware being launched Continuity between student cycles Transferring of intellectual capital from one student to the other Typically requires an involved professor, research associate, and/or an excellent documentation effort Engaged User If nobody is interested in the data from the working satellite than the launch was not worth it Users oftentimes are the one leveraging requirements so an engaged user greatly increased the educational value of the program Engaged User Continuity Between Student Cycles Rigorous Engineering Program 19
