Student teams may propose to receive funding for either a Senior Design Project or for participation in a national level Engineering Challenge.
Senior Design Projects
NC Space Grant anticipates and proposes to support two or more student teams from its member institutions to participate in NASA Exploration Senior Design Projects. Proposing teams are required to submit a short application which contains the following information:
- Description of the design project
- Description of how the project directly supports the identified ESMD-related priorities
- Team makeup (including names and disciplines of each student)
- Expertise of faculty mentor and other mentors
- Full project budget with NC Space Grant budget request not to exceed $2,500
Teams are encouraged to seek mentors from industry and the NASA community.
National Engineering Design Challenges
NC Space Grant anticipates and proposes to support two or more student teams from its member institutions to participate in national level Engineering Design Challenges. Proposing teams are required to submit a short application which contains the following information:
- Title and web address of the national level engineering design challenge
- Entry guidelines for the national level engineering design challenge
- Description of the design project
- Description of how the project directly supports the identified ESMD-related priorities
- Team makeup (including names and disciplines of each student)
- Expertise of faculty mentor and other mentors
