Five members of the College of Engineering faculty spent the
summer working with colleagues at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville.
Roy Hartfield of the aerospace engineering faculty; Homer Carlisle of
computer science and engineering; John Hung of electrical engineering;
Peter Jones of mechanical engineering; and John Lundberg of aerospace
engineering were participants in NASA's Summer Faculty Fellowship Program,
which pairs university faculty with NASA scientists.
The teams exchange ideas, and over the course of the summer, each
individual participated in the role of researcher, teacher and student. By
also conducting research for the space program, the faculty member gains
additional teaching enrichment skills. The participants also attended weekly
seminars during the 10-week program to learn about Marshall projects.
Since 1966, some 7,000 college faculty have participated in the
summer program.
