It provides recent high school graduates with hands-on experience in a stimulating research environment. A long-term goal of the program is to encourage students to pursue careers in the science and engineering disciplines, particularly in areas related to the needs of the U.S. Department of Defense. The program started the summer of 1982 with nine students from five local high schools. A total of 400 students have completed the program through August 2007. Most of these students have gone on to major in science or engineering in colleges throughout the United States. In 1991, placement of a small group of students at other University of Texas research laboratories began. Through the years, students have been placed at the Institute for Advanced Technology (IAT), the Institute for Geophysics (UTIG), the Center for Electromechanics (CEM), and the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory (TARL). The program is funded by the Independent Research and Development Program at ARL:UT and by internal funds at other laboratories. Selecting students Students are selected on the basis of their academic records, Scholastic
Aptitude Test results, and written applications. At ARL:UT, each student
is assigned to a research project to be performed under the supervision
of a research scientist or engineer.
