Real NASA Engineering Experience:



Anthony C. Bruins I is a NASA-JSC veteran of 30+ years, a systems engineer, scientist and innovator and founder of Systemic Intelligent Fast Failure (SIFFTM).  He is also a "dog psychiatrist /dogchologist".  He was awarded the NASA Silver Snoopy Award which is NASA’s Highest Prestigious Award given to individuals within the NASA, Industry, and International Partner space flight team for outstanding contributions to mission safety and success.  Less than 1% of the total  NASA/Contractor workforce receives the Silver Snoopy Award.  Anthony integrated 17 different end users and/or stakeholders on the ground (MCC) that needed to tap into the ISS servers and laptops via the Orbiter Communications Adapter (OCA).


  

Michael A. McCullar is owner of ExoPlanet Technologies and Principal Investigator /Program Manager of the Macho Mengi (M2) Observatory System Program.  The M2 team has adopted  SIFFTM as the core methodology to develop M2's complex system of ground and space telescopes that are networked to operate as a single massive telescope to view the surfaces of stars and exoplanets.  He worked at NASA-JSC as a Thermal Vacuum Test Director and received numerous awards at Jacobs Engineering including the 2012 NASA Exemplary Contribution recognition for his support of the MBSU Installation Anomaly on the International Space Station (ISS). He also received the 2014 NSBE Celestial Torch Award – Aerospace Technologist.

HACU Youth Leadership Development Forum (YLDF) - October 7, 2016 ExoPlanet Technologies  delivered a series of STEM related workshops at a conference hosted by the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) at the University of Texas at San Antonio.   Anthony C. Bruins I and Michael McCullar delivered creative, innovative workshops that challenged the students with real-world problems from the space industry. Through our  SIFF workshops , we engaged the students right and left brain, minds and senses all at the same time. The energy released from the students was explosively contagious once their thinking unlocked from traditional methods of memorization.   In our four workshops for the day, the students generated over sixty new ideas per class for various ways of developing Cubesats for the  Macho Mengi (M2) Observatory System . We received survey data from over   128 students . Data showed a  23% gain  in numbers of stude...
