Capturing and Preserving Critical Knowledge for the Future
Engineering Reports
The detailed engineering and analyses generated from each assessment are captured in comprehensive engineering reports and converted to NASA Technical Memorandums (TM) for permanent archive and access. For information on NESC reports, visit ntrs.nasa.gov and ntrsreg.nasa.gov.
Lessons Learned
An Agency-level lessons learned database called the Lessons Learned Information System (LLIS) is used to capture important and broadly applicable lessons learned. NESC and Agency lessons learned can be found at llis.nasa.gov and nen.nasa.gov.
Technical Bulletins
Critical knowledge captured from NESC assessments in the form of new engineering information or best practices in a one-page format. To view NESC Technical Bulletins, visit nesc.nasa.gov/ nesc/technicalbulletins.
Technical Updates
Annual summary of NESC technical activities including lessons learned, technical bulletins, innovative techniques, discipline features, journal articles, and conference publications. To view NESC Technical Updates, visit nasa.gov/nesc/technicalupdates.
Innovative Techniques Solutions developed from NESC assessments and highlighted annually in the Technical Update and at nasa.gov/offices/nesc/ innovativetechniques.html The NESC is engaged in activities to identify, retain, and share critical knowledge in order to meet our future challenges. To disseminate that knowledge to engineers - within NASA, industry, and academia - the NESC develops a wide variety of knowledge products that can be readily accessed including technical assessment reports, technical bulletins, video libraries, and more.

Beginning in 2007, the NESC Academy was formed to capture and disseminate knowledge from NASA discipline experts to the engineering community. The NESC Academy enables effective knowledge capture and transfer, ensuring technical information remains viable and accessible. It provides a forum for the NASA community to gain critical knowledge to aid professional development and support the NASA mission. Researchers, engineers, and field experts in 20 technical disciplines present live and on-demand content relevant to the design, development, test, and operation of NASA programs and projects. The Academy hosts more than 790+ videos and webcasts containing interviews, tutorials, lectures, and lessons learned. Viewers learn from subject matter experts in an engaging format that uses a self-paced structure based on a state-of-the-art video player for education that includes side-byside video and slides, powerful search capabilities, downloadable course materials, and more. The platform enables dual video streams for content across desktop and mobile devices.
