Space Shuttle Columbia represents an historic opportunity for the next generation of STEM students to learn from a past human spaceflight disaster and see firsthand how forensic engineering is applying those lessons learned to spacecraft designs of the future.
Educators will be given the opportunity to tour UTEP’s new Forensic Engineering and Materials Performance Laboratory, and review ongoing student research on Columbia artifacts that is directly influencing how astronauts will explore space over the next 50 years.
Free parking will be available on UTEP’s campus after 5 pm. The workshop will be held in CASSMAR College of Engineering , Metallurgy M302.
This event is part of the week-long El Paso Space Festival.
