Press Release For one Utah Valley State College adjunct professor and the 50 students in his two technology engineering classes, NASA's Columbia foam block damage theory just doesn't liftoff like it should. After the U.S.S. Columbia spiraled to its destruction during the morning hours of February 1, John MacLean saw the news first as a crisis for the national technology program, but also as an opportunity for UVSC students to do some thinking. And the students' results don't match NASA's assertion that a piece of foam broke a hole in the wing. They concluded the wing was neglected, fatigued and eventually broke under its own liftoff stresses. "Our first objective was to provide the students with a real world problem, so they could practice investigation and creative problem solving," MacLean said. "When we found out we came up with something different, we realized we had a second objective. We think our story is better than the one we're hearing, but we're not here to prove anyone wrong. We want to look at these problems and identify them so we can improve the space exploration program and prevent this from happening in the future." MacLean not only presented his ideas to the UVSC Technology, Trades and Industry dean and campus vice presidents, but also sent his findings to NASA. They replied, inquiring for any additional information he could provide. curious to learn how it was E-mail accounts for all siwlGnis Log on to start taking advantage of free e-mail By Windy Hanks UVSC recently upgraded their e-mail system in order to serve the faculty and students more efficiently.
