00:00:08,816 --> 00:00:14,196
Hi, I'm Sydney Schnulo, and I'm
a research aerospace engineer

3
00:00:14,286 --> 00:00:17,666
at the NASA Glenn Research
Center in Cleveland Ohio.

4
00:00:17,836 --> 00:00:20,396
NASA Glenn has been
pushing the boundaries

5
00:00:20,996 --> 00:00:25,776
of aeronautics since 1941.

6
00:00:25,956 --> 00:00:31,166
In its early days, the Center
aided our nation during World

7
00:00:31,366 --> 00:00:35,096
War II by helping to
solve problems related

8
00:00:35,096 --> 00:00:39,536
to aircraft engine
performance and aircraft icing.

9
00:00:39,576 --> 00:00:43,076
Since 1958, as part of NASA,

10
00:00:43,076 --> 00:00:45,346
the Center has been
solving challenges

11
00:00:45,776 --> 00:00:48,406
to help us land humans on the
Moon and to work in space.

12
00:00:48,436 --> 00:00:49,786
Today, NASA and the Glenn
Research Center are facing new

13
00:00:49,816 --> 00:00:51,076
challenges as we travel
to destinations farther

14
00:00:51,106 --> 00:00:51,766
out into our solar system,

15
00:00:51,796 --> 00:00:52,996
and develop new aircraft
propulsion systems

16
00:00:53,026 --> 00:00:54,316
that will help make air
travel cleaner, safer, faster,

17
00:00:54,346 --> 00:00:54,976
and more efficient on Earth.

18
00:00:55,046 --> 00:00:57,116
And that's where
we need your help.

19
00:00:57,116 --> 00:01:00,016
NASA's University Student
Design Challenge gives full-time

20
00:01:00,016 --> 00:01:02,266
undergraduate college
students, in their sophomore

21
00:01:02,416 --> 00:01:05,476
through senior years,
the opportunity to work

22
00:01:06,206 --> 00:01:14,216
with top NASA experts and make
meaningful contributions to some

23
00:01:14,216 --> 00:01:15,776
of NASA's most exciting work.

24
00:01:15,936 --> 00:01:19,496
You'll create a
multi-disciplinary team

25
00:01:19,496 --> 00:01:22,696
that will develop an
aeronautics concept

26
00:01:22,696 --> 00:01:25,836
for our next generation
of commuter aircraft.

27
00:01:25,956 --> 00:01:30,026
Students on your team can major
in areas, such as science,

28
00:01:30,056 --> 00:01:30,956
technology, engineering,
mathematics,

29
00:01:30,986 --> 00:01:32,186
as well as economics,
marketing, graphic arts

30
00:01:32,216 --> 00:01:33,536
or other disciplines that
will support the successful

31
00:01:33,566 --> 00:01:34,976
development of your team's
aeronautics design concept.

32
00:01:35,096 --> 00:01:36,556
You'll work under
the supervision

33
00:01:36,556 --> 00:01:39,376
of a college advisor
and a NASA mentor.

34
00:01:39,426 --> 00:01:42,056
And you'll compete against other
college teams to create a design

35
00:01:42,056 --> 00:01:44,876
for a next generation
air vehicle

36
00:01:45,056 --> 00:01:53,426
that will help integrate
aeronautics into commuter travel

37
00:01:53,526 --> 00:01:55,316
in metropolitan areas.

38
00:01:55,316 --> 00:02:00,536
Your design must focus on
NASA Glenn's core competencies

39
00:02:00,536 --> 00:02:03,146
and take into consideration
factors, such as:

40
00:02:03,386 --> 00:02:06,126
energy consumption,
noise, emissions, cost,

41
00:02:06,236 --> 00:02:07,766
alternative energy, and safety.

42
00:02:07,876 --> 00:02:10,606
Concepts should exploit
the merits

43
00:02:10,746 --> 00:02:13,946
of mass-transit while
affording mobility,

44
00:02:14,236 --> 00:02:15,836
rather than personal
transportation.

45
00:02:15,936 --> 00:02:19,036
For a complete list of
project requirements be sure

46
00:02:19,066 --> 00:02:20,326
to attend the mandatory
virtual Kick-off meetings

47
00:02:20,356 --> 00:02:21,046
in December and January.

48
00:02:21,076 --> 00:02:21,976
You can also visit
us on the web.

49
00:02:22,136 --> 00:02:23,876
I look forward to seeing the
designs that your teams create

50
00:02:24,296 --> 00:02:27,206
in helping us fuel our next
generation of air vehicles.

51
00:02:27,206 --> 00:02:30,916
Thanks for being a part of
the NASA team and good luck.
