  1. SCSGC Workforce Development Programs • Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll understand. Confucius, 500 BC Dr. Mitchell Colgan, Director SCSGC and SC NASA EPSCoR College of Charleston 843-954-5463 Colganm@cofc.edu

  2. SCSGC Workforce Development Goals • To provide undergraduates with hands-on research experiences while working on NASA-related scientific and engineering projects. • To increase the number of students pursuing NASA-related science and engineering professions.

  3. SCSGC Workforce Development Programs2003-2006 • NASA Center Internships • Research Experience for Undergraduates (REUs) • Geospatial Institute (GSI)

  4. SCSGC NASA Internships Goals: • To expose undergraduates to the exciting research environment at NASA centers • To increase participation of SC students in research studies at NASA field centers.

  5. SCSGC NASA InternshipsCompetitively Awarded • Since 2003, we have supported 17 students • $87,100 in funding • Students have participated in programs at Ames, JPL, Goddard, Wallops, Langley and Glenn.

  6. Research Experience for Undergraduates (REUs) REU Goals: • To advance NASA’s research agenda. • To raise the profile of NASA in the region, which will in turn raise the overall interest in aerospace related studies on SCSGC-REU campuses.

  7. Four REUs2005 and 2006 Bioastronautics (Medical Univ. of SC) (2 years) Microgravity - Biological (Wofford College) Advance Materials (Clemson University) $190K in REU awards 22 student participants from all over the US

  8. The Geospatial Institute (GSI) GSI Goals: - To train students to understand, integrate, and master geospatial technology. - To increase the number of students from a broad range of disciplines to pursue geospatial careers that are vital to NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

  9. The Geospatial Institute Geospatial Summer Institute at the College of Charleston $70K GSI award 15 student participants from all over the US Student remote sensing research projects
