DIRECTED ENERGY PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY


Directed Energy Education Workshop 2010
19 November 2010 Bethesda, Maryland

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. This was the tenth Workshop in a series of DE Education Workshops to advance these goals. The Workshops considers current and future Directed

Energy education programs around the country. Support for the Workshop has been provided by the High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office and by DEPS.

The scope of the Workshop includes:

  • Programs from K-12 through graduate/post-graduate studies and technical vocational training
  • Professional continuing education
  • Student motivators (scholarships, fellowships, recognitions)
  • Summer internship programs
  • Curriculum development

The Workshop was held on Friday 19 November in Bethesda, Maryland. It immediately followed the technical program of the Thirteenth Annual Directed Energy Symposium, also held in Bethesda on 15-19 November 2010.
