Arkansas Tech faculty member chosen for NASA fellowship
RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. (April 20, 2016)--Dr. Daniel Bullock, associate professor of electrical engineering at Arkansas Tech University, has been selected as a faculty fellow in the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Faculty Fellowship program for summer 2016.
During the 10-week fellowship, Bullock will work with NASA engineers to develop a satellite that will eventually rendezvous with a near-Earth asteroid. His team will attempt to contribute to a greater knowledge of the asteroids as part of NASA's long-term goal of sending a manned mission to explore the objects.
"I hope that I can bring back some portion of the project to use for the electrical engineering senior design capstone course," said Bullock. "I also want to learn more about the NASA design process and be able to share that with our engineering students."
