David,
Notice that Clint says "engineering background", not "degree". Self-taught engineers, such as yourself, definitely have things to contribute to the technical aspects of satellite design. You definitely would not want to drop someone with zero background into these areas, nor would it be good to have a volunteer who has no intent of learning or contributing.
My personal experience is that the lack of technical skills is usually _not_ the reason volunteers drop out of projects, it's the time required to volunteer. So, don't be shy! If you have the time and some background in the areas needed, sign up here:
