Capitol's astronautical engineering program is focused and practical, equipping students with the skill sets needed to take on crucial roles in space missions. A high-visibility example is the James Webb Space Telescope, one of NASA's most significant endeavors. Several Capitol alumni are involved with this history-making mission, while current students are participating as interns. In this issue of the Connector, we speak with alums Aaron Bush and Carl Hansen, as well as student Ben Serano, about the exciting work they are doing.

Also this month, we highlight the role of engineers in tackling climate change and fostering more widespread use of renewable energy. Engineering students at Capitol are contributing their ideas this spring as part of the Capitol Climate Competition. Last but not least, find out how improv theater can help build interview and business communication skills; Capitol is providing a workshop for students at the February 17 Career Conference.
