Continuing Education Workshops
Forum 360: Diversity and Inclusion in Next-Generation Airspace
While we currently have well-established safe legacy models for airspace, that model won’t scale to all of the new operations. To achieve integrated airspace, we must overcome significant challenges, including enabling operations to share data using the cloud; partitioning the sky to have fair, efficient operations for new and old aircraft; expense; and regulations. Perhaps the largest challenges of all are community input, acceptance, and support. Join us as we examine the issues and solutions in next-generation airspace.
Rising Leaders in Aerospace: Planning for the Long Term: Setting Yourself Up for a Long-term Career
For those of us early in our career in the Aerospace industry it is hard to see how the choices that we’re making could influence our careers in the long-term. This discussion will focus on helping us better understand how we can be setting ourselves up for a successful career in Aerospace, and how we can navigate the opportunities and challenges along the way. Boxed lunches available for the first 120 attendees on a first-come-first-served basis. Line up early so you can get a lunch!
USC’s Student Rocketry Successs – Example of hands-on undergraduate training that provides students with experience-based engineering before graduation
USC has three major efforts to provide students hands on training before graduation in the Department of Astronautical Engineering. The hands on activities to augment the academic curriculum specifically in space systems before graduation, while challenging from resources and laboratory facilities, provides benefits to students and industry upon transition. USC will present one successful group, the Rocket Propulsion Laboratory that has been in existence for 15 years.
