-
3.00 Credits
Internship for graduate students in the space and planetary sciences graduate degree programs and concentrations in the graduate programs in physics, biology, geosciences and mechanical engineering. Students conduct a phase of their research, normally for one month, at a national or industrial laboratory in North America or overseas.
-
2.00 Credits
A two-week workshop exploring the ethical issues of conducting research in the space and planetary sciences. Through a study of case histories, the course will explore both issues of academic and research honesty, such as the fabrication of data, and the ethics surrounding the execution of research, such as issues surrounding planetary protection. Summer only.
-
2.00 Credits
A two-week workshop concerning the ways in which scientists communicate the results of their work to the general public. The course is taught by prominent journalists in the space and planetary sciences and puts an emphasis on original writing and critique. The workshop is not considered satisfactorily completed until each student has an article published in a university or higher-circulation publication. Summer only.
-
2.00 Credits
A two-week workshop addressing the ways in which technology generated during scientific and engineering research is transferred to the private sector and used for wealth generation. Summer only.
-
1.00 Credits
Seminars organized by the Arkansas-Oklahoma Center for Space and Planetary Sciences covering topics on the cutting edge of research in the field for graduate students conducting research with a faculty member in the space and planetary sciences as part of their graduate degree programs or concentrations in the graduate programs in physics, biology, geology, geography and mechanical engineering.
-
1.00 Credits
Introductory course consisting of discourses and case studies in ethics, communications and public policy in the administration of space and planetary sciences. Prerequisites: Admission to program or instructor consent.
-
