Alumni Connections: College of Engineering and Applied Science, November 2010
With the winter season now upon us, our thoughts converge on the efforts of one of our very own, Dr Andrew Ketsdever, Assistant Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. Currently, UCCS is hosting the AFRL/JPL/NASA Advanced Propulsion Workshop. The Advanced Propulsion Workshop will focus on key concepts for space access and in-space propulsion. This technology will provide the necessary push for future space exploration missions. Advanced propulsion includes work in several different areas of study including high power systems, high density plasma production and new propulsion technologies. Through ongoing theoretical, computational and experimental studies, your continued interest and support will allow our faculty to continue their work and efforts toward exploration and new technologies. We want to thank you again for enduring with us as part of our community, college and commitment to excellence. Illuminate-Investigate-Innovate, R.
