Student Workshop
Education is vital to the Directed Energy community. Fostering the professional growth of current workers in the field and
increasing the number of young, new members in the community are important DEPS educational goals.
In support of those efforts there will be an educational workshop co-located with our
Annual DE S&T Symposium designed to allow
students studying in the area of directed energy to present their work.
We intend for the Student Workshop session to be a low-threat environment, offering the speaker an opportunity to gain technical
presentation experience, and, of course, to present his/her interesting research.
This will be the twenty-second Workshop in a series of DE Student Workshops to advance these goals.
The Workshops consider current and future Directed Energy education programs around the country. Support for the Workshop is provided
by the Directed Energy Joint Transition Office and by DEPS.
The scope of the Workshop includes:
- Graduate/post-graduate studies and technical vocational training
- Oral presentations from all 2022-23 DE Graduate Scholars
- Professional continuing education
- Student motivators (scholarships, fellowships, recognitions)
- Summer internship programs
- Curriculum development
- and an exclusive Roundtable Reception for students and early career professionals (ECPs)
Additionally, the Student Workshop offers a sampling of the work currently being pursued
by students, especially those supported by JTO and ONR internships or scholarships.
The Workshop will be held in parallel with sessions of the
2023 Annual Directed Energy Science and Technology Symposium.
Proceedings of the Workshop will be included in the unclassified Symposium proceedings. Proceedings from
previous Workshops are available through the DEPS online store.
Roundtable Reception
Back by popular demand! DEPS will be hosting its special Roundtable Reception* on Monday, April 3 from 1730-1900 at The Westin San Antonio North hotel.
This event is designed to give students and early career professionals (ECPs) the opportunity to network and connect with some of
directed energy's esteemed leaders. Whether you are currently on the job hunt, seeking advice about professional growth, or simply hoping to
learn about possible career paths, this event is an excellent opportunity to expand both the knowledge base and the network of contacts
for our student attendees.
*Please note, this reception is limited to current students and early career professionals only. Appetizers and one drink ticket (must be 21 or older) will be provided to attendees.
Registration
The event has reached capacity and registration for the Workshop is now closed.
