NASA ENGINEERING AND SAFETY CENTER (NESC) OPPORTUNITIES
Directorate Brief Description:
The NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) is an independent
organization focused on engineering excellence. The objective of the NESC is to improve safety by
performing in-depth independent engineering assessments, testing, and analysis to uncover technical
vulnerabilities and to determine appropriate preventative and corrective actions for problems, trends
or issues within NASA's programs, projects and institutions. The NESC draws upon the best engineering
expertise from across the Agency and includes partnerships with other government agencies, national
laboratories, universities and industry. By engaging all NASA Centers and Headquarters in the mutual
goal of increasing safety through engineering excellence, the NESC operates as a true One NASA
organization.
Project Description:
The NESC desires a summer student to work with NESC Principal Engineer's Office
(PEO) on the review and update of operations procedures for the planning, execution, and reporting of
independent technical assessments. Student would work with PEO personnel to tailor existing
procedures for general use by all assessment leads. Effort to include revision to existing
documentation and the generation of new procedures, guidelines, and checklists.
Desired Major(s):
Prefer third year or higher engineering student with interest and knowledge of
functional process mapping, process gap recognition, and requirements definition.
Key Words:
process mapping, process gap recognition, reporting
