They will manage their own research projects, utilize state-of-the-art technology, and work alongside accomplished aeronautical researchers. Students are expected to make unique contributions to NASA\u2019s research priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be receiving and awarding more proposals than ever under USRC,\u201d said Steven Holz, assistant manager of the NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/aeroresearch\/programs\/tacp\/ui\">University Innovation project<\/a>, which manages USRC. \u201cThe students continue to come up with novel and impactful research proposals that we believe will lead them to leaving their mark on the aeronautics industry and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USRC doesn\u2019t only provide experience in technical research, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though each team of students selected receives a partial grant from NASA, the rest of their USRC funding is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/aeroresearch\/usrc-students-sees-success-with-crowdfunding-nasa-grants\">secured from the public through student-led crowdfunding<\/a>. The process helps students develop skills in entrepreneurship and public communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s second round of USRC university teams and research topics are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>California State University Channel Islands<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAdvancing Aerospace Materials Design through High-Fidelity Computational Peridynamic Modeling and Modified Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET) Validation of Corrosion Damage\u201d will aim to develop a way to predict how quickly various metal structures corrode in different environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Team: Trent Ruiz (Lead), Isaac Cisneros, and Curtis Hauck.
