NASA Future Computing and Communications Technology Course
--Afternoon Sessions Start on April 17th
NASA recognizes the need to ensure our ongoing technological
leadership by increasing the near term numbers of students graduating
with mathematics and science majors. To foster more interest in these
subject areas, The NASA Computing Information and Communications
Technology (CICT) Program will webcast a Future Computing and
Communications Technology (FCCT) Course at 2:00 PM Pacific Time every
Tuesday and Thursday from April 15 through May 15, 2003.
The FCCT course will offer High School and College students a glimpse
into the exciting careers at NASA. The course will provide students
real world experience with emerging computer science research and
web-based software they can continue to learn with during and after
the class. The content is derived from several NASA-developed
projects and is aligned with the national standards (and several state
standards) for mathematics, science, and technology education.
The FCCT Course available to students with 56Kb or faster web access
and RealPlayer ? Software. Each session will be archived, and a live
chat session will be available during each scheduled webcast. There
will be a pre-session on April 15 for students to test their computers
and connectivity. Each presentation will feature leading professionals
actively involved their respective fields of research. The course is
expected to cover general engineering and design approaches in
emerging technology areas such as:
- Designing A Space-Based Internet Network
- Next Generation Gigabit Networking
- Comparing Landing Sites On Mars for Optimal Data Return
- Nanotechnology and Biotechnology Overviews
- Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device Grid Computing
This is a free course offering a certificate of completion to students
finishing all session course work and passing the final examination.
Pre-registration is required at:
http://cictedu.arc.nasa.gov/courses/spring2003/
In addition to the free "audit" class, any students wishing
college-level credit may register for one unit of Computer Science
through Wheeling Jesuit College, Wheeling, WV at a cost of $100
payable to the College (not to NASA). The CICT Education Outreach
Project is offering to underwrite $80 of this cost for the first 100
for-credit students registered (cost to the student would be $20).
Further information is available at the web site.

While we know this course will provide students with inspirational
glimpses into future NASA missions. However, the course does not imply
a promise of NASA employment. Students wishing to inquire about
position openings and position requirements are welcome, but they
should contact their nearest NASA Center or visit:
http://www.nasajobs.nasa.gov/ for any employment information.
