This will include a discussion of multiple approaches to program formation and build / buy / hybrid decision considerations. The book also discusses how a CubeSat (or other small spacecraft program) can be integrated into course and/or program curriculum and the ancillary benefits that such a program can provide. The assessment of small spacecraft programs and participatory project-based learning programs is also discussed extensively. The book presents prior work related to program assessment (both for a single program and internationally) and discusses how similar techniques can be utilized for both formative and summative assessment of a new program. The utility of these metrics (and past assessment of other programs) in gaining buy-in for program formation and funding is also considered. .Technical educationEducational technologyScienceStudy and teachingEngineering and Technology EducationDigital Education and Educational TechnologyScience EducationTechnical education.Educational technology.ScienceStudy and teaching.Engineering and Technology Education.Digital Education and Educational Technology.Science Education.607.11Straub Jeremyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061798Marsh Ronald Arthurauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWhalen David Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910163988403321Small Spacecraft Development Project-Based Learning2520202UNINA
