Build Hours
Three times a week undergraduate and graduate students from multiple disciplines work in the lab to conduct experiments, developed skills, and collaborate on projects. ASPEN's goal to train students on industry-desired skills, expose them to research, and allow them to work in inter-displinary teams. We are not only making impacts on advance propulsion systems but also preparing students for their future endeavors.
