The newly established DEDC for space applications, at Kent State University recruited 10 students from diverse engineering backgrounds. Originally founded at the University of Texas at El Paso in collaboration with NCDMM, the DEDC has since expanded nationwide. It serves as a collaborative research and internship hub where students apply their technical expertise in the digital realm. This involves using tools such as CAD, CAM, Unity, and various other software and programming languages to engineer new systems, starting with the creation of digital twins, to the development and retirement of the system. The goal of digital engineering is to reduce time and cost in the development of complex systems by using simulation and emulation techniques.
