NASA Exploration System Mission Directorate {ESMD}/TSGC Faculty Project [10/12/2007]
Announcement of Faculty Opportunity:Summer 2008 will mark the second year of The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate Space Grant Faculty Project. This Project was established to create a more synergistic approach for collaboration between NASA and the academic community that contributes to the Agency's objectives.
Ten faculty will be competitively selected to work for five weeks at the ten NASA Field Centers. Each faculty will be tasked to gather senior design project ideas and internship opportunities relative to Exploration in support of the ESMD Space Grant Program. THEY WILL NOT BE CONDUCTING RESEARCH. In addition to this task, each faculty will be required to capture data on all educational projects funded by ESMD education projects managed out of NASA Headquarters, and identify all educational projects funded by ESMD agency wide.
In the Summer of 2008, all faculty will attend a four day meeting at KSC approximately two weeks after completing their tenure. In the lessons learned from the Summer of 2007 it was discovered that their needs to be some lag time between their Center completion and the meeting at KSC. This is due to information that is collected during the last week, and time needed to write up a summary.
