The Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP), sponsored by George
Washington University and the Department of Defense, is an eight week summer
program for high school students. SEAP is designed so that students can
apprentice in fields of their choice with experienced scientists and engineers.
This opportunity provides students with valuable experience needed to make
informed career decisions. Students apprentice with their mentors on mutually
agreed upon projects. At Army Research facilities, the students apprentice in a
professional research laboratory setting and learn how their research can
benefit the Army as well as the civilian community. Because of the setting,
students are treated as research assistants rather than just teenagers. First
year participants are awarded an educational stipend of $2000.
The students contribute to the research of the laboratory while learning
research techniques in the process. This "hands-on" experience gives students a
broader view of their fields of interest and shows students what kind of work
awaits them in their future career. The students also attend demonstrations and
go on field trips to learn more about the inner workings of an Army Research
Laboratory. At the end of the summer, the students prepare final reports and
present their research at a final seminar.
