The NASA Systems Engineering Workshop is an annual event that brings together systems engineers and stakeholders from across the Agency to discuss, develop, and improve the state of the discipline as a community. The fundamental goals of the SE Workshop is to better engage and develop Systems Engineers to improve NASA mission success and improve the SE community and knowledge sharing within the discipline through focused and pertinent interactive learning. The Systems Engineering Workshop prides itself on being a "workshop". This means that attendees will be highly engaged and encouraged to share their own experiences and points of view with their colleagues throughout the event. The theme of this year's workshop hosted by Glenn Research Center on May 7-10, 2024 is "Eye on the Future" and is being held at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown in Ohio. It will feature presentations and panels of experts from across NASA and beyond! A couple of featured presentations include: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love ChatGPT" and "Is MBSE Right for Me?" For more information about the schedule, see the agenda tab.

Jonette Stecklein (in the blue shirt), a flight systems engineer from Johnson Space Center in Houston, talks to students during a Women in STEM mentoring breakfast inside the Debus Conference Center at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. STEM is science, technology, engineering and math. The special event gave students competing in NASA's 8th Annual Robotic Mining Competition the chance to learn from female NASA scientists, engineers and professionals about their careers and the paths they took to working at Kennedy. The Robotic Mining Competition is a NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate project designed to encourage students in STEM fields. The project provides a competitive environment to foster innovative ideas and solutions that could be used on NASA's Journey to Mars.

NASA's 9th Annual Robotic Mining Competition concludes with an awards ceremony May 18, 2018, at the Apollo/Saturn V Center at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. The team from The University of Akron received third place for their Systems Engineering Paper. At left is retired NASA astronaut Jerry Ross. At right is Jonette Stecklein, lead systems engineering paper judge. More than 40 student teams from colleges and universities around the U.S. participated in the competition, May 14-18, by using their mining robots to dig in a supersized sandbox filled with BP-1, or simulated lunar soil, gravel and rocks, and participate in other competition requirements. The Robotic Mining Competition is a NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate project designed to encourage students in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM fields. The project provides a competitive environment to foster innovative ideas and solutions that could be used on NASA's deep space missions.
