The
DOE-FIU Science and Engineering Workforce Development
Initiative is designed to build upon this relationship
by creating a “pipeline” of minority engineers
specifically trained and mentored to enter the Department
of Energy workforce in technical areas of need. This
innovative program was designed to help address DOE’s
future workforce needs by partnering with academic,
government and DOE contractor organizations to mentor
future minority scientists and engineers in the research,
development, and deployment of new technologies addressing
DOE’s environmental cleanup challenges. Students
selected as DOE Fellows will perform research at FIU
and at a DOE site. Upon graduation and completion
of this fellowship, the students will submit an application
to join the DOE
EM Professional Development Corps (PDC) .
Objectives
The DOE-FIU Science and Engineering Workforce Development
Initiative is designed to build upon existing DOE/FIU
relationship by creating a “pipeline” of
minority engineers specifically trained and mentored
to enter the Department of Energy workforce in technical
areas of need. The main objective of the program is to
provide interested students with a unique opportunity
to integrate course work, Department of Energy (DOE)
field work, and applied research work at FIU into a well
structured academic program that leads to entry into
DOE’s Career Internship Program.
Our Mission
Build upon FIU’s long research relationship with
the Dept. of Energy to create a “pipeline” of
minority, environmental engineers and scientists.
Our Vision
Provide top quality minority students with a unique
opportunity for hands-on research and a career
Enhance quality of student, faculty & staff
R&D through close collaborations with scientists
from national labs
Stimulate greater numbers of minority students
entering STEM disciplines at grad and undergrad levels
