Education
and outreach
TiiMS brings together the academic community
to significantly enhance education for the next generation of trained
aerospace professionals.
Our educational outreach program supports science
and engineering education at the postgraduate, graduate and undergraduate
levels through programs that integrate new courses with opportunities
for student research, disseminating current research and applications,
encouraging students to pursue science and engineering careers,
and enhancing the development of young professionals.
The majority of our budget is spent on students,
with more than 70 undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students
supported each year. In the first five years, over 300 students
will benefit directly by participation in this program.
To ensure that NASA perspectives are integrated
into the institute, as well as to further educate NASA personnel,
we will facilitate the pursuit of advanced degrees by NASA civil
servants. Our outreach program will complement a strong cadre of
existing programs focused on human resource development and initiate
innovative new programs consistent with the proposed research.
