NYCRI – Summer Research Initiative: New Jersey Space Grant Consortium will host a number of summer students and a high school instructor at Stevens Institute of Technology, during the summer of 2007, as part of a program sponsored by the New York City Research Initiate at Goddard Space Flight Center. Details can be found at the following site: http://education.gsfc.nasa.gov/nycri/ In general, teams of high school and undergraduate students and faculty work along side graduate students and principal investigators (lead scientists) on NASA funded research projects at universities within a 25-mile radius of New York City (NY, NJ and CT); or at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) under the mentorship of a GISS scientist. Summer enrichment experiences include content and research seminars, team oral research reports, visits to various research laboratories and informal education institutions, participation in local and national research conferences and a final research summit with participants from other government agencies.

Exploration Systems Mission Directorate Program (ESMD): The New Jersey Space Grant Consortium (NJSGC) is currently participating in the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) Program for the 2006-2007 award year and expects to be awarded funds by NASA for the 2007-2008 program. ESMD details can be found at the following site: http://nasaexplores.nasa.gov/show2_5_8a.php?id=04-213&gl=58. New Jersey Space Grant Consortium’s (NJSGC) participation in ESMD will be through the following two programs: 1) an innovative industry-university co-operative training and internship, and multi-disciplinary engineering educational program for STEM workforce development. NJSGC in partnership with academia, industry, the state, and private parties, will collaborate to promote and administer NASA’s education programs in the state of New Jersey, and 2) NJSGC will integrate ESMD-supplied engineering challenges and content into Senior Engineering Design Courses at it’s member institutions.
