Abstract :
This past summer, Sikorsky Research and Engineering (R&E) welcomed the 2011 NASA-sponsored intern, Cotnoir Grace. Under the mentorship of Theodora Saunders from System Engineering (SE), and in collaboration with Julie Mackey, Tom Rose, and Bill Fallon from Material & Process (M&P) Engineering, Grace worked on improving the systems engineering process while focusing on the Environment and Safety (DfES) system design material and process considerations.
