Educational Initiative program for graduate scholarships in the field of high-power RF technology
Abstract
The Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) offers this proposal to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to enhance their existing Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) efforts. DEPS is a non-profit professional society composed of scientists and engineers, the vast majority of whose technical interests lay in directed energy (DE) areas. The Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) offers this proposal to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to enhance their existing Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) efforts. DEPS is a non-profit professional society composed of scientists and engineers, the vast majority of whose technical interests lay in directed energy (DE) areas. DEPS has supported the High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office’s “Educational Initiative Program” the past ten years, as the primary executor of their Basic Research grant. A new grant was awarded on 12 August 2014, #W911NF-14-1-0524, through the Army Research Office. DEPS is not an institution of higher learning and does not award graduate or undergraduate degrees, nor does DEPS hire graduates to work in HEL fields. Therefore, it is not possible for this proposed work to be self-serving. DEPS leverages its membership to achieve its educational goals. The DEPS Board of Scientific and Engineering Advisors, a subset of the DEPS Fellows, evaluates candidates for the graduate scholarships. DEPS members volunteer to serve as technical referees for Journal articles, to review book manuscripts for technical accuracy, and to serve on conference program committees. These activities support the proposed effort without additional cost.
