What Our Students Say

I worked in a lab that helped me learn practical skills for working in engineering. Working in the Space Systems Engineering Program lab has helped me learn how to be an effective engineer. I have probably learned as much working in the lab as I have learned in my classes. Also, space grant funding has liberated me to do engineering work, as opposed to irrelevant, unproductive work.

It allowed me to go to my internship in 2018 at KSC, otherwise I may not have been able to afford going. That internship also gave me the edge I needed to be accepted into the UNT IRES program, which took place at "the end of the world" in Puerto Williams, Chile.
