Science and Engineering Research Semester for undergraduate students
In many ways, DOE's ability to accomplish its mission in the future rests upon the availability of appropriately trained scientists, engineers, and techniques at all degree levels. For this purpose, a number of programs and activities--including science and engineering research semester--have been established for university students and faculty. Such programs promote training in energy research and allow access to facilities and state-of-the-art equipment/instruments not ordinarily available on campus. The Department of Energy (DOE), through the Science and Energy Research Semester (SERS), provides unique research opportunities for upper-level undergraduate students seven national laboratories, which have established Science Education Centers. SERS participants follow a program with three basic elements (1) participation in ongoing national energy-related research; (2) training and experience in the operation of sophisticated, state-of-the-art equipment and instruments; and (3) seminars, workshops, and coursework designed to supplement the laboratory research experience.
