The Kingston University Rocket Engineering (KURE) society have set up their own YouTube channel in which they have been making tutorials made by students for fellow students (40+ tutorials of around 45min-1hr15min each). Some of the Kingston lecturers are using the created content as resources for their own CAD based lectures and workshops. 

Please note: these videos are made by students so we can not guarantee the accuracy of the technical content of the videos however we hope the it may inspire your students to engage more with your subject. 

Presentation slides on the theory and calculations for Link Budget in Small Sat Communications.

Each week this course covers a different aspect of Astronomical technology, matching each piece of technology to a highlight science result. It explains how the technology works, how it has allowed us to collect astronomical data, and, with some basic physics, how we interpret the data to make scientific discoveries.

This 5-week online course explores the key concepts of data science required to process, analyse, and interpret large datasets. You’ll use tutorials and case studies to understand the possibilities within these datasets, and learn how to interpret satellite data beyond the course.

This MOOC by The California Institute of Technology, covers our understanding of the physical universe and its major constituents, including planetary systems, stars, galaxies, black holes, quasars, larger structures, and the universe as a whole.

A short open course by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid describing the history of the space industry and it's impacts on society. By successfully completing this course, you will gain an understand of key events and developments of the Space Age. You will learn to solve basic technical and engineering problems of space travel, rocket propulsion, space systems, and human space flight.

"Nibbles in Space" is a series of short podcasts (<< 10 min), aiming to make space more accessible. Prof Malcolm Macdonald is a professional engineer and is Chair of Applied Space Technology at the University of Strathclyde. The recordings are availble for free on his website, Spotify, Stitcher and iTunes.
