Rapid Response Research and Development (R&D) for the Aerospace Systems Directorate. Delivery Order 0004: Research for Propulsion and Power Systems. Volume 2 - Students Exploring Advanced Technologies (SEAT) Program
Abstract
The material in this report volume was developed by students in advanced aeronautical curricula programs. The SEAT Program was designed to create a collaborative partnership program between the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RX), Dayton Public Schools (DPS), Wilberforce University, and Central State University. The goal is to encourage high school students who display an aptitude in mathematics and science to pursue a college education. Encouragement was achieved through mentoring from Wilberforce science and engineering students and working with AFRL research scientists involved in the development of advanced manufacturing and materials technologies. The SEAT Program leverages the existing local science fair or inquiry-based research (scientific or engineering methods) process to engage DPS students and provide a competitive focus. DPS students selected for the SEAT experience will be mentored to help them prepare and participate in local, regional, state and/or international science, math and engineering fairs. Winners in regional and/or state science fair categories will be offered summer hire positions working with scientists and engineers at AFRL.
