In partnership with 5 major research universities, University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) has compiled a searchable catalogue of graduate level curriculum in hypersonics catering to the six critical technology areas identified by the Joint Hypersonic Technology Office (JHTO). The purpose of this website is to provide information and access to hypersonic graduate curriculum offered by our educational institutions to bridge the gap in hypersonic education needs of the workforce in industry and government.

The JHTO is seeking innovative ideas to rapidly deliver a low-cost hypersonic capability. Hyper-AMPD! is looking for solutions from new and non-traditional creators, as well as established partners

New Mexico State University’s College of Engineering Engineering is poised to make an impact in scientific advancement and workforce development for this burgeoning technological field. The department also is adding new course offerings in hypersonics. A senior elective/graduate-level hypersonics course in spring of 2022 had an enrollment of approximately 40 students, several of whom were already working in government positions. Plans are in the works to add additional courses in hypersonics and to offer a Certificate in Hypersonics for the professional development of working engineers. Hands-on hypersonics research experiences for undergraduate students and new course offerings can provide an entrée to graduate school or momentum for students to pursue employment at an aerospace engineering company.

The NSF ADVANCE program contributes to the National Science Foundation's goal of a more diverse and capable science and engineering workforce.1 In this solicitation, the NSF ADVANCE program seeks to build on prior NSF ADVANCE work and other research and literature concerning gender, racial, and ethnic equity.

In November 2018, the University of Notre Dame unveiled the largest quiet Mach 6 hypersonic wind tunnel in the country, supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. To further engage the University’s expertise for developing efficient, hypersonic flight vehicles, Notre Dame has launched the Hypersonic Systems Initiative. The Notre Dame Hypersonic Systems Initiative includes more than 35 researchers from the College of Engineering and College of Science. The Initiative aims to be a catalyst for new cross-cutting hypersonics research that pools resources while also fostering a “system-of-systems” approach that recognizes the interdependence of different design elements and provides coordination at their interfaces.

DoD STEM is committed to providing STEM education opportunities to students and educators of all ages and demographics.

Women in Hypersonics accelerates workforce development in critical technology areas.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) has announced the issuance of a presidential determination (PD) to advance the country’s hypersonic industrial base.

Issued by President Joe Biden, the directives authorise the use of Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III authorities, which specifically focuses on advanced avionics, air-breathing engines, guidance systems and other constituent materials used in hypersonic systems.
