In partnership with AFRL, Tec^Edge and other organizations, we are now offering Wright^Edge Academic Pipeline Scholarships to undergraduate students to participate in an intense experiential learning program at the Tec^Edge Innovation and Collaboration Center.  This is offered both during the academic year and over the summer and students from all STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields can apply.

Experiential educational projects are primarily in the area of sensors (radar, infrared and video cameras, acoustic arrays,…) and sensor fusion.  This will involve a combination of basic research into sensor phenomena as well as applied research in applications using remote sensing techniques.  A broad range of disciplines, such as electrical engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, as well as other science and engineering majors such as psychology and human factors engineering, are needed to fully understand and develop specific applications.

All participants will work with other researchers (AFRL scientists, faculty and students) in a collaborative research environment at the Wright Brothers Institute Innovation and Collaboration Center located next to Wright Patterson Air Force Base.   This will be a unique opportunity to work with Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Scientists and Engineers, Faculty from Universities, Industry Scientists and Engineers as well as other graduate and undergraduate students.  Student must be highly motivated and be willing to face the challenge of understanding complicated, interdisciplinary problems.

Program dates are aligned with the academic calendar.
