Education

As part of the National Aerospace Leadership Initiative, we are committed to creating new models of inter-disciplinary collaboration among educators, computer scientists, engineers, researchers and technology professionals and closing the skills gap between today’s workforce and the workforce of the future.

Our educational advances aim to keep pace with the scientific, engineering and computing advances to ensure a prepared, modern workforce and support our research agenda of virtual engine testing through computer simulation.

From kindergarten through graduate school, we are infusing students and faculty with the excitement we feel for new career opportunities in the Springfield/Clark County area in computer sciences, engineering and technology.
