The Digital Engineering Design Center for Space Applications (DEDC) provides digital engineering lifecycle education and research opportunities to undergraduate students with year-long internships in the center. The internship entails learning about the digital engineering integrated development environment while designing, developing, testing, and implementing Aerospace Systems with a desired cybersecurity posture. The systems engineering lifecycle management integrates cyber-informed engineering principles.

The DEDC is composed of ten intern students from Aerospace Engineering, Cybersecurity Engineering, Computer Engineering Technology, and Mechatronics Engineering programs. The faculty advisors are:

• Joycelyn Harrison (Director)
• Benjamin Kwasa (Lead Faculty)

The curriculum is covered through weekly meetings with the faculty members while the students work on the projects using resources in a collaboration with University of Texas El Paso (UTEP).
