SCIENCE & ENGINEERING APPRENTICESHIP (COMPETITIVE)
The
Science & Engineering Apprenticeship Program is a competitive program
for graduating seniors of Texas high schools primarily in
the Austin area. The purpose of the program is to provide
the selected students with exposure to laboratory research
and development and to provide these incoming college freshmen with an idea
of what scientists and engineers do in their chosen area
of work. Each apprentice is partnered with
a research staff member who mentors their
work during the summer-long project. At the end of the summer,
the apprentices give a poster
presentation, and publish technical reports which are distributed to the Office of Naval Research,
UT Austin’s Vice President for Research, counselors at participating high schools, and internally at ARL.
