DoD Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program for Socially and Economically Disadvantaged High School Students. 1991-1992 Activities
Abstract
The year 1991 represented the tenth successful DOD Science and Engineering Summer Apprenticeship Program for Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Students, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research at Florida State University. The program this year was again administered by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute (GFDI) under the direction of Drs. Richard L. Pfeffer and Robin Kung. Student activities were centered at GFDI and included work experience in GFDI. Eight students were selected to work in the program starting in the summer of 1991. The guidance counselors of five local high schools were approached to obtain the names of outstanding socially and economically disadvantaged college bound students. Our student group consisted of three seniors, and five exceptional juniors. The departure from our past concentration on seniors was motivated by our desire to influence and expose students to possible scientific and engineering careers at an earlier age. Brief vitae of the selected students to possible scientific and engineering careers at an earlier age. Brief vitae of the selected students appear in the following section, and information pertaining to each apprentice is also attached at the end of the report. Students spent a total of 30 hours per week with the program for 10 weeks in summer and 10-20 hours during the school year.
