ENABLING AND EQUIPPING THE EMERGING NASA WORKFORCE TO BE ABLE TO GENERATE AND SUCCESSFULLY PROPOSE NOVEL IDEAS AS SOLUTIONS TO MEET NASA S AGENCY-WIDE TECHNOLOGICAL NEEDS IS AN ESSENTIAL STEP TO HELP ENSURE A PRODUCTIVE AND FORWARD LEANING AGENCY. THIS PROPOSAL INTENDS TO BUILD UPON THE WORK STARTED THROUGH THE NASA PROPOSAL WORKSHOP AND EVALUATION EXPERIENCE (NPWEE PROGRAM) TO EXPAND THE SCOPE AND REACH AS AN INTERACTIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING TOOL THAT WILL EMPOWER THE EMERGING WORKFORCE TO SUCCESSFULLY ENGAGE IN NASA S PROPOSAL OPPORTUNITIES. THIS PROPOSAL WILL FOCUS ON MSFC TECHNOLOGY NEEDS AND DIRECTLY UTILIZE THE NASA TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP (TAXONOMY) WITHIN THE PROPOSED NPWEEA CURRICULUM TO ENABLE STUDENTS TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH MSFC S TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITIES.
