MTU - Developing a talent pipeline: Inspiring future navel engineers and scientists using real-world project based
Abstract
A multi-tiered approach for attracting young engineers and scientists to naval STEM fields is proposed. Our approach develops project-based instruction through Michigan Tech s Enterprise program, develops a minor in Naval Engineering, interfaces students with Navy personnel, facilities, and programs, significantly contributes to online resources for Navy STEM students, and engages high school students to pursue Navy related STEM fields. This program will be nationally scalable for universities who do not offer naval architecture or ocean engineering majors. The program will be designed with flexibility and agility in mind to quickly adapt to new and emerging Navy S&T needs.
