ONR K-16 Engineering Pipeline: Engineering Success in STEM Project

Abstract

Proposal Summary: The K-16 Engineering Pipeline: Engineering Success in STEM project addresses ONR efforts to develop and strengthen disciplines across all Naval activities, as well as improve the technician pipeline, and ensure that “under-represented populations including women and minorities” are included in the project plans. Specifically, the K-16 Engineering Pipeline project will address the following ONR demonstration criteria: 1. Will invest in either the development of nationally scalable innovative capabilities and educational tools OR in significantly scaling proven models and approaches. 2. Will create meaningful content and participant experiences that meet Naval STEM education and workforce priorities, and that will expose participants to elements such as Navy and Marine Corps STEM skills, content, careers, facilities, and personnel. 3. Will collect a set of program-specific measures of performance and measures of effectiveness. 4. Will contain a strategy for self-sufficiency, such that following the completion of ONR’s investment, the effort will have a clear financial sustainability path and enduring organizational capacity. 5. Will be distinct from those types of efforts requested by ONR’s Long Range BAA.
