🔬 Undergrads: It's never too early to start your research! 👩🎓 Instructors: Helping your students to take their first steps into research can be as easy as mentioning the names of researchers at your institution on a certain topic when you talk about that topic in class. #undergraduateresearch

It is with great pleasure and honor to engage in a comprehensive discussion with Eng. George Salazar,P.E.,ESEP,LSMIEEE a remarkable individual with a stellar mindset. We explored a spectrum of topics, from the intricacies of engineering to the nuances of systems engineering. Delving into his inspiring journey to NASA, we discussed the realities of student life shaping a career, and emphasized the significance of pursuing what you love. His wisdom on aligning passion with profession resonated deeply: " If you wake up and have to go to work but you don't want to, you're not where you should be." Grateful for his invaluable advice on career shifts and integrating Computer Science with Engineering. An honor to connect with such a distinguished professional.

I look forward to discussing the aerospace and defense path that Enduralock has taken over the last few years and some of the technologies that we have developed.

I am excited to share our joint article with Ph.D. student Tahir Soyugüzel and Prof. Zahit Mecitoğlu from ITU Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics "Experimental and numerical investigation on the mode I and mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide reinforced composites" in press in the Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics.  

Here's my conversation with Dr. Kyle Alfriend. He's a University Distinguished Professor in the department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. We talk about his career, space research, and being analytically thorough. Thanks for reading! https://lnkd.in/gncG9tBQ

Prize Announcement: I am incredibly honored to announce NASA's first Space Tech Catalyst Prize! Please help spread the word for those doing incredible work in their own communities to advance space tech research and innovation. To learn more, come to our first webinar October 4th 10:00-11:00 AM PT at the Flight Opportunities Community of Practice webinar Description from the NASA Web Feature: Revolutionary space technology research and development relies on novel ideas across America. To that end, NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) is rolling out an innovative engagement strategy to help enhance outreach efforts, reduce barriers to entry, and attract high-quality proposals from a diverse pool of researchers. A new NASA Space Tech Catalyst Prize sets out to expand the agency’s network of proposers and foster effective engagement approaches within NASA’s Early-Stage Innovations and Partnerships (ESIP) portfolio. Through this prize, NASA will recognize U.S. individuals and/or organizations that share effective best practices on approaches and methods for how they successfully engage underrepresented and diverse space technology innovators, researchers, technologists, and entrepreneurs. Numerous individuals and/or teams will each be awarded $25,000, and the cohort of winners will be invited to an in-person event at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. During the event, NASA aims to learn industry best practices for engaging and building a diverse community of space technology research and development professionals to inform future NASA plans and grow partnership potential. Applicants may include teachers, mentors, and other individuals. Universities, non-profits, businesses, and other organizations are also encouraged to apply. Interested and eligible individuals and organizations should register and fill out the submission form on the competition website, provide references, and submit a short video. Applicants will be asked to describe the groups they currently engage with, what barriers their engagement approaches have addressed, an explanation of how NASA investment will further their work, and more. Interested applicants should register online by Feb. 8, 2024. Applications must be completed and submitted by Feb. 22, 2024. Thank you to Jenn Gustetic Lynn Van Deventer Amy Kaminski and the Ensemble Team. #SpaceTech #NASA #innovation #aerospace #research #Communitybuilding #spacetechcatalystprize https://lnkd.in/efyy94hM

NASA 👩🏽🚀 initiated the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Project, also known as Space Grant, in 1989. Space Grant is a national network of colleges and universities. These institutions are working to expand opportunities for Americans to understand and participate in NASA’s aeronautics and space projects. The Space Grant fund fellowships and scholarships for students pursuing careers in science, mathematics, engineering and technology, or STEM. We are over the moon 🌑🌙 to be working with the Pennsylvania Space Grant Consortium to evaluate the program. We know evaluation activities can lead to important insights that can inform how a program adapts over time, changes, improves, and expands science and engineering education, research, and public outreach efforts! 🔭🪐🚀 https://lnkd.in/eyj9yWan

We love to see the positive results our clients achieve because they chose to have an Impact Business Model that aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Bitar Machine Design is making a positive impact by supporting their community through sponsorship of UNCC's Rocketry team. In addition, they are ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education, reducing inequality, promoting gender equality and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. If that weren't enough, Bitar Machine Design even takes it a step further with their time and financial resources by providing decent work and economic growth opportunities to student interns that promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. #UNSDG4 #UNSDG5 #UNSDG8 #UNSDG10 Justin Bitar #Piercetheunknown

Glad to share that I completed Digitalization in Aeronautics and Space Specialization, and it was a 6 month specialization which consists of three courses Digitalization in Aerospace Industry, Digitalization in Space Research, and Digitalization in Aeronautics. Technical University of Munich, Munich Aerospace conducted this specialization and lectures of professors were interesting for them who want to do research in aerospace. #digitalization #TUM #aerospaceengineering #specialization
