NASA Pathways and Co-op Learning Programs

The NASA Pathways IEP is for current students and individuals accepted for enrollment in a qualifying educational program. The NASA Pathways IEP provides students enrolled in a variety of educational institutions with paid opportunities to work in agencies and explore Federal careers while still in school. This program exposes students to jobs in the Federal civil service by providing meaningful development work at the beginning of their career, before their career paths are fully established.

Colorado Space Grant Consortium

The COSGC is funded by NASA and is a state-wide organization involving 17 colleges, universities and institutions around Colorado. Our organization provides Colorado students access to space through innovative courses, real-world hands-on telescope and satellite programs, and interactive outreach programs.

Design-Build-Fly Teams

These are highly sought after for entrepreneurial companies and help individuals stand out. Further, it provides a tight knit group and unique experience that blend technical application and financial considerations. This is real engineering in an exploratory and exhilarating environment.

TEAMS

Why do we care about getting more students interested in engineering? We believe that all students, regardless of circumstance, should have the opportunity to pursue an engineering career and contribute to the health, happiness and safety of society. Students who learn about engineering begin to dream and imagine themselves creating the next best thing! TEAMS helps students envision themselves pursuing engineering careers and begin to understand that dreams need doing....

Graduate engineering Fellows, deployed through the TEAMS Program to schools in Longmont, Lafayette and Denver, teach K-12 girls and boys that engineering is a fun, rewarding and attainable career that impacts society through everyday applications -- from the newest iPod to a complicated water filtration sytem for a remote community.

Through the TEAMS program students explore engineering in everyday life and come to understand how engineering impacts their lives. Hands-on engineering experiences help students to:

Understand the role that engineers play in meeting the needs and dreams of society.
Draw connections to meaningful applications of science, math and technology.
Become motivated to create a bright future for themselves through engineering and technology.

Discovery Learning Apprenticeship Program

As discovery learning apprentices, undergraduates work alongside graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty, and industry representatives, as collaborative partners on original research. Students bring a fresh perspective to the research team while also learning from their more experienced partners. Apprentices learn hands-on techniques, gain insight to a field of study, and learn life skills such as time management, flexibility and how to be part of a team. In so doing, they prepare themselves to be the technological, academic, political, and creative leaders of tomorrow.
