PREST was established in 1989 to meet the nation's ever-increasing
needs in the advancement of science, engineering, and technology and to
prepare qualified students for careers in space technology. The education
and research opportunities offered in the program combine the academic
resources of GW's School of Engineering and Applied Science and the professional
research staff and facilities of the NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center.
These opportunities enable you to be involved in significant research projects
and to associate with faculty from the University, scientists and engineers
from NASA, and prominent visiting researchers who are working on related
problems.
If you are pursuing a degree at the NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center
in the area of communications, computer science, or mechanical engineering,
you may be eligible for one of our research scholar assistantships, providing
full tuition awards and a stipend.
