  19. SSE/5500 CSRs • The Space Systems Engineering subspecialty code (5500) is intended to provide a command with an officer who has the technical knowledge to plan and manage the development, design, acquisition, operation, tasking and employment of space surveillance, communications, navigation and atmospheric/oceanographic/ environmental sensing systems throughout their lifecycle. • The following is a representative sample of requirements for which this subspecialty applies: • On following 2 slides…

  20. SSE/5500 CSRs • Formulate operational requirements, plans, policies, architectures, operational concepts, doctrine and tactics for development and employment of space systems and the information products, or the distribution, correlation and analysis of their information products. • Technical knowledge of the space environment, spacecraft design and operation, space systems technologies (e.g. launch systems, astronautics, spectral sensors, communications). • Proficient in orbital mechanics, systems analysis and integration, information management and digital processes.

  21. SSE/5500 CSRs • Perform liaison with other services, agencies, and/or industry concerning policy and procedures for requirements development and analysis for the design, acquisition and operational employment of space systems, ground support segments and their information products. • Perform technical evaluation of space systems design and performance. • Provide recommendations to senior decision-makers regarding space systems engineering.

  22. 591 Space Systems Engineering 27-month Matrix • Fall Entry • Includes: • Final Design Project • Integrated JPME • Degree Specialization • SECNAV Guest Lectures • SS4000 Lectures • 5500P Code • TS/SCI Courses* • ABET Degree Options: • MS-Astro • MS-Electrical • MS-Mechanical • WASC Degree Options: • MS-Computer Science • MS-Physics • Entrance Requirement: • APC = 323 • Academic Associate: • CAPT Al Scott (ret) 29 NOV 11

  23. ABET Accreditation • All engineering programs at NPS are undergoing accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2013 • Curriculum review process is leveraged extensively for accreditation purposes • Shows ABET we are closely tied to our sponsors • Provides a process for continuous improvement • In conjunction with the 2013 accreditation, ABET Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) were updated to more closely comply with ABET guidance • Previous PEOs used the 591 Educational Skill Requirements (ESRs) • This approach mirrored the curriculum review process and provided excellent linkage to the program sponsor • However, ESRs are too detailed to serve as ABET PEOs, which are intended to be “broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation” • PEOs are now consistent with Core Skill Requirements (CSRs) • ESRs will continue to be captured in ABET Student Outcomes (see following slides)

  24. Original ABET PEOs • The overall educational objective of the Astronautical Engineering program is to support the NPS mission by producing graduates who have knowledge and technical competence, at the advanced level in Astronautical Engineering, to support national security. • In order to achieve this goal, the specific objectives are to produce graduates who have knowledge and technical competence in the following areas (aligned with ESRs): • Orbital Mechanics, Space Environment and Remote Sensing • Military Space Systems • Project Management and System Acquisition • Spacecraft Communications and Signal Processing • Computers: Hardware and Software • Spacecraft Dynamics, Guidance and Control • Spacecraft Structures and Materials • Propulsion Systems • Spacecraft Thermal Control and Power • Spacecraft Design and Integration

  25. Updated ABET PEOs • The overall educational objective of the NPS Astronautical Engineering program is to support the NPS mission by producing graduates who have, at an advanced level, knowledge and technical competence in astronautical engineering and who can use that knowledge and competence to support national security. Specific Program Educational Objectives (i.e., skills and abilities that graduates can bring to their position after having graduated from NPS and receiving 3-5 more years of on-the-job training and professional development) include: • Technical Expertise* • Leadership* • Operational Utilization* *See notes

  26. Updated ABET Student Outcomes • Student Outcomes for the NPS Astronautical Engineering program are: • Graduating students will have knowledge and skills equivalent to an ABET-accredited BSAE. • Graduating students will have advanced level knowledge in Astronautical Engineering as demonstrated by the ability to apply masters level knowledge in one of the available specialized disciplines of Astronautical Engineering. • Graduating students will have high level of communication skills including technical writing and oral presentation. • Graduating students will have the ability to independently identify, formulate and solve technical and engineering problems in Astronautical Engineering. • Graduating students will have the ability to apply technical knowledge in a leadership role related to national security. • To fulfill their future responsibilities and meet the intent of Student Outcome 5, the program sponsor has specified that Navy officer graduates have technical knowledge and competence in the following specific areas (aligned with ESRs): • Orbital Mechanics and Space Environment • National Security Space Systems • Project Management and System Acquisition • Spacecraft Communications and Signal Processing • Computers: Hardware and Software • Spacecraft Guidance and Control • Spacecraft Structures, Materials and Dynamics • Propulsion Systems • Spacecraft Thermal Control • Spacecraft Power • Remote Sensing and Payload Design • Spacecraft Design, Integration and Systems Engineering0

  27. ABET Accreditation • The six year ABET accreditation cycle was completed this year • Self-study report submitted to ABET 27 June 2013 • Accreditation team visit was 8-10 September 2013 • Request sponsor approval of updated Program Educational Objectives
