A successful online WebEx session (in September 2010) for prospective Master's students in Astronautical Engineering resulted in numerous request from across the country to repeat the event. Consequently, we recorded (October 12, 2010) the program overview by Program Director Professor Mike Gruntman and made it available on-line. The second link is to a more recent webcast in November 2012.
