TY - JOUR T1 - Aerospace Systems Science and Engineering Program: A Novel Integrated Approach AU - Tulunay, Yurdanur AU - Atas, Omer AU - Altuntas, Emre AU - Tulunay, Ersin PY - 2019 DA - September JF - The Eurasia Proceedings of Educational and Social Sciences JO - EPESS PB - ISRES Publishing WT - DergiPark SN - 2587-1730 SP - 13 EP - 17 VL - 14 LA - en AB - A recent report on the global road map for 2015-2025commissioned by COSPAR and ILWS emphasized the growing appreciation that theenvironmental conditions that we call space weather impact the technologicalinfrastructure that powers the coupled economies around the world (Carolus,2015). Since space borne theoretical and practical problems are complicatedenough, an up to date science and engineering curricula may need to beconsidered to cope with such cases. The program/curricula is meant to combinebasic sciences, space sciences and technology under a system engineeringumbrella. In short, the objective of this program is to produce graduates whowill be capable of tackling space programs with deep confidence in anintegrated and interdisciplinary manner. In other words, the graduates will beable to take care of these problems from a broad-wide spectrum including forexample, space sciences, such as space weather on one side, and very specifictechnological problems, such as space debris on the other side. So, in thispaper we propose an engineering education program. KW - Engineering education KW - Space science KW - System engineering KW - Curriculum CR - Agency, E. S. (2009).
