ASU students are getting first-hand experience in research focused on space exploration, technology and policy in collaboration with faculty members and industry experts in those fields. Among them are Meilyn Guas Perez and Sayantika Choudhury, both aerospace engineering students in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools. Both are nearing completion of their undergraduate studies. Perez says by combining engineering studies with materials science studies, she is better equipped to handle complex engineering challenges. Choudhury says her studies have better prepared her to achieve a goal of contributing to astronaut well-being and to space mission success.
