"Aerospace is one of the most diverse industries when it comes to career opportunities. Whatever your talents, Aerospace could be for you: whether you are into design, knowing how things work and finding ways to improve them; if you are practically minded and hands-on; whether you have a passion for business or policy-making; we believe that in Aerospace, there really is something for everyone!"

six day intensive overview of the Aerospace Engineering program This program is designed to demonstrate fundamental concepts of engineering in a fun, hands-on environment. learn the Science of Flight, how materials stress, strain, and break, and the principles of Aerospace Design. a variety of fields relating to Aerospace Engineering

The fundamental concepts, and approaches of aerospace engineering, are highlighted through lectures on aeronautics, astronautics, and design. Active learning aerospace modules make use of information technology. Student teams are immersed in a hands-on, lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicle design project, where they design, build, and fly radio-controlled LTA vehicles.

Free Webcast -- The Air We Breathe The Aerospace Education Services Project, or AESP, is presenting a free webcast on Saturday, Dec. 11, 2010, at 10 a.m. EST. Join Aerospace Education Specialist Lester Morales during this hour-long webcast as he features NASA's education resource book "The Air We Breathe." This book is designed to help students enrich their science vocabulary, better understand Earth's atmosphere and practice the scientific process. The book is a great vocabulary builder for English language learners.

The Aerospace Education Services Project, or AESP, is presenting a free webcast on Thursday, Jan. 13, 2011, at 4:30 p.m. EST. During this hourlong webcast, Stennis Space Center Aerospace education specialist Steve Culivan will discuss "mass" and "weight," two terms that differ in meaning and that often are used incorrectly. This webcast will integrate Newton's Laws of Motion and microgravity to explore these two terms and demonstrate their difference by focusing on education video filmed by astronauts on the International Space Station. NASA education resources and inquiry activities, developed from the space station video, will be used in this workshop. Come enjoy this "heavy duty" topic.
