The Academy’s annual report provides an in-depth look at its training and development accomplishments in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013.
In FY 2013, the Academy of Program/Project & Engineering Leadership (APPEL) continued to demonstrate its commitment to the NASA mission by supporting the learning and development needs of the agency’s technical workforce. The Academy was well equipped to support NASA’s programs and projects throughout the year with its activities and services by providing:
- Innovative training and hands-on development offerings to help meet NASA’s strategic goals
- Course support for center systems engineering and project management programs
- Online solutions to make learning and development resources readily accessible to practitioners where and when they need it
- Continuing engagement with key stakeholders within the agency such as the Systems Engineering Working Group, Program Management Council, Earned Value Management Focal Point Working Group, and Program and Project Management Board, in addition to partners from government, industry, academia, and international organizations
Selected highlights from the year include hosting the agency’s inaugural Rocket University Unmanned Aerial Systems Competition, offering several new virtual courses such as Technical Writing for the NASA Engineer and Leading Complex Projects, graduating a new class of systems engineers from the Systems Engineering Leadership Program (SELDP), and the migration and update of the Academy’s website, appel.nasa.gov.
