Funding from ASGP allowed me to access the Space Systems Engineering Program laboratory on UAF's campus over last summer, where I gained valuable experience in the mechanical design process, Computer Aided Design, Computer Aided Manufacturing, and working in interdisciplinary teams on an engineering project.

Funding from the ASGP program allowed me to gain work experience in my profession, and specifically the discipline within the field that I am interested in. The ability to learn the nature of software development related to physical simulation and DEM modeling is extremely helpful.
