The authors have established a systems engineering (SE) and project management (PM) educational program for university students developing a 1kg-class simulated-satellite, called CanSat. The educational program helps students achieve mission success through the practical application of SE/PM methodologies to their development processes. In the educational program, the students are advised by young professionals currently working as aerospace engineers. In this study, one team was taken as a case study to evaluate the SE/PM educational program; the results showed that cooperative activities between students and young professionals were critical to the effectiveness of the SE/PM education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
