Now in its eleventh season, this semester's Design Challenge promises to be the most well-rounded to date! Thirteen teams - a mixture of five engineering disciplines - representing nine universities throughout the State of Texas - have been selected to participate.
Thank you! NASA Johnson Space Center, Center for Space Research and NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate for continuing to offer Design Challenge students such a broad range of projects to choose from.
