High
school grads experiment with science at the Applied Research
Laboratory
The High
School Apprentice Program at the Applied Research
Laboratories at The University of Texas provides an early
taste of science and engineering for students entering
their freshman year of college.
The students get experience with research projects designed
by ARL research scientists, who are their mentors for
the summer. The projects deliver real results that the
ARL researchers will use in their work. Read the article 
 New
Ideas from Future Researchers
Selected
high school graduates "apprentice" with researchers
during the summer, learning what scientists and engineers
do in their chosen area of work. These apprentices
bring fresh approaches and new ideas to their science
and engineering project assignments. Shaun Sherman,
a graduate of Waller High School, studied light
bulbs as a source of generating sound underwater.
The
High School Apprenticeship Program
The High School Apprenticeship
Program is a competitive program for graduating seniors
of area high schools who plan to attend UT Austin. The
program provides the selected students with exposure
to laboratory research and development, and also provides
the young students with an idea of what scientists and
engineers do in their chosen area of work. Area high
schools are notified of the program, and students who
have an interest in engineering, computer science, physics,
and math are invited to apply. U.S. citizenship is required.
