•
Participate in international challenges such as NASA-sponsored University Student Launch Initiative.
3D PRINTING IMPACTING CAREER READINESS
Student design projects and challenges have benefited greatly from the use of 3D printing. PROCESS:
THE RESULT:
Charger Rocket Works, the university student team, designed, built and launched a a scientific payload to a prescribed altitude for the Gemini space capsule.
At a recent sub-scale launch, several participants and spectators were impressed with the students’ models, calling their work “revolutionary to the way these things are done.”
The team completed aerodynamic testing of some of the changes and additions.

LEARNING APPLICATION: FOSTERING CAREER READINESS Preparing the workforce of tomorrow while building a bridge to future employers. “Preparing the Stratasys system is easy for the students to learn to use and it produces more precise, functional models at all hours of the day and night. It’s the equivalent of having a second and third unmanned shift in our fabrication facility.” “As word of our capabilities has traveled through the business community, the Stratasys system has afforded us the opportunity to forge partnerships that would not have occurred otherwise. It allows us to support, improve and enhance the relationships we have with our students, our research and teaching faculty, and our R&D community partners.” Stephen Collins, Prototype Development Specialist, University of Alabama in Huntsville of tomorrow while building a bridge to future employers
