Interactive Education in Electronic Sensing, Communication and Warfare (White Paper Tracking Number:
Abstract
INTERACT is an innovative, experiential STEM program designed to provide Naval personnel with the technical background and skills to, fight the next fight where control and understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum and systems is essential. The program also wil,l engage and motivate young sailors, high-school and undergraduate students in their career trajectories into STEM and electronics a,nd electrical engineering. At the core of INTERACT is a unique systems and hands-on experiential learning approach. Through an innov,ative digital platform, integrated design tools and a lab-in-a-kit, participants are able to learn through online digital media and,then design/build (by hand) and test the foundational building block of many of the Navys electronic sensing and communication syst,ems. INTERACT will provide on-site and on campus STEM learning experiences for Navy personnel, STEM students and military connected,communities. In addition, as communication technology is integral part of the general work force, INTERACTs simple and interactive,approach will provide a new education vehicle for military connected students to learn new skills and technology.
