| Fall 2003 marks the second full-operation semester for TSGC's Design Challenge. This semester, for the first time, two NASA centers provided topics for design student selection: NASA JSC research groups provided a full-range of research projects by submitting fourteen topics; NASA Marshall Space Flight Center provided a design resource for two teams. As a result, this semester, TSGC is delighted to host ten teams from eight Texas institutions.
