7 SSO/6206 CSRs The Space Systems subspecialty code (6206) is achieved through an 18-month curriculum, including any required refresher training, intended to provide a command with an officer who can plan and manage the operation, tasking and employment of space surveillance, intelligence collection, communications, navigation and atmospheric/oceanographic/ environmental sensing systems. The following is a representative sample of requirements for which this subspecialty applies: ‒ On following 2 slides…

8 SSO/6206 CSRs 1.Space System Processes: Officers will be able to formulate operational requirements, plans, policies, architectures, operational concepts, doctrine and tactics for development and employment of space systems and the tasking, collection, processing, evaluation, and dissemination information products derived from space- based systems. 2.Space System Capabilities and Design: Officers will have knowledge of the space environment, spacecraft design and operation, space systems technologies. 3.Orbital Mechanics and Analysis: Officers will have knowledge of orbital mechanics, systems analysis and integration, as well as information and knowledge management.

9 SSO/6206 CSRs 4.Space Liaison: Officers will perform liaison with other services, agencies, and/or industry concerning policy and procedures for operational employment of space systems and their information products. 5.Space Systems Assessment: Officers will perform operational evaluation of space systems performance. 6.Decision Superiority: Officers will provide recommendations to senior decision-makers regarding space systems operations, including the benefit of added space-based capabilities and the impact to operations if current space-based systems capabilities are denied to the force.

10 Stakeholder Desired Outcomes Open for discussion for the purpose of laying out high level expectations that may lead to detailed discussion points, ESR edits and perhaps curriculum changes ‒ Outcomes will need to be expressed in terms of requirements (e.g. ESRs) and obtain concurrence of MAS and NPS

11 SSO/6206 ESR Discussion Review Excel document for specific ESR wording ‒ “366&591 ESR Map 24JAN14.xlxs” Any required changes at this time? ‒ e.g. JP 3-14 edits, desired outcomes, etc.

All engineering programs at NPS are undergoing accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2013 ― Curriculum review process is leveraged extensively for accreditation purposes Shows ABET we are closely tied to our sponsors Provides a process for continuous improvement In conjunction with the 2013 accreditation, ABET Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) were updated to more closely comply with ABET guidance ― Previous PEOs used the 591 Educational Skill Requirements (ESRs) This approach mirrored the curriculum review process and provided excellent linkage to the program sponsor However, ESRs are too detailed to serve as ABET PEOs, which are intended to be “broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation” ― PEOs are now consistent with Core Skill Requirements (CSRs) ― ESRs will continue to be captured in ABET Student Outcomes (see following slides) ABET Accreditation 37

The overall educational objective of the Astronautical Engineering program is to support the NPS mission by producing graduates who have knowledge and technical competence, at the advanced level in Astronautical Engineering, to support national security. In order to achieve this goal, the specific objectives are to produce graduates who have knowledge and technical competence in the following areas (aligned with ESRs): Orbital Mechanics, Space Environment and Remote Sensing Military Space Systems Project Management and System Acquisition Spacecraft Communications and Signal Processing Computers: Hardware and Software Spacecraft Dynamics, Guidance and Control Spacecraft Structures and Materials Propulsion Systems Spacecraft Thermal Control and Power Spacecraft Design and Integration Original ABET PEOs 38

The overall educational objective of the NPS Astronautical Engineering program is to support the NPS mission by producing graduates who have, at an advanced level, knowledge and technical competence in astronautical engineering and who can use that knowledge and competence to support national security. Specific Program Educational Objectives (i.e., skills and abilities that graduates can bring to their position after having graduated from NPS and receiving 3-5 more years of on-the-job training and professional development) include: Technical Expertise* Leadership* Operational Utilization* *See notes Updated ABET PEOs 39

Student Outcomes for the NPS Astronautical Engineering program are: 1. Graduating students will have knowledge and skills equivalent to an ABET-accredited BSAE. 2. Graduating students will have advanced level knowledge in Astronautical Engineering as demonstrated by the ability to apply masters level knowledge in one of the available specialized disciplines of Astronautical Engineering. 3. Graduating students will have high level of communication skills including technical writing and oral presentation. 4. Graduating students will have the ability to independently identify, formulate and solve technical and engineering problems in Astronautical Engineering. 5. Graduating students will have the ability to apply technical knowledge in a leadership role related to national security. To fulfill their future responsibilities and meet the intent of Student Outcome 5, the program sponsor has specified that Navy officer graduates have technical knowledge and competence in the following specific areas (aligned with ESRs): Updated ABET Student Outcomes 40 Orbital Mechanics and Space Environment National Security Space Systems Project Management and System Acquisition Spacecraft Communications and Signal Processing Computers: Hardware and Software Spacecraft Guidance and Control Spacecraft Structures, Materials and Dynamics Propulsion Systems Spacecraft Thermal Control Spacecraft Power Remote Sensing and Payload Design Spacecraft Design, Integration and Systems Engineering0

The six year ABET accreditation cycle was completed this year Self-study report submitted to ABET 27 June 2013 Accreditation team visit was 8-10 September 2013 Request sponsor approval of updated Program Educational Objectives ABET Accreditation 41
