About Growing STEMS

Mission

Through experience-centered collaborations and student training pipelines, the Growing STEMS Consortium will prepare a new, diverse generation of engineers for careers within the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration. 

How We'll Do It

Growing STEMS will accomplish this mission by meeting four objectives:

• Student Induction into the DOE-NNSA Workforce through internships for TTU and NMT students at CNS, LANL, and SNL.
• Research-Centered Student Training on DOE/NNSA collaborative research projects at TTU and NMTfor undergraduate and graduate GSCstudents. 
• Student Recruitment and Education including curriculum development with an emphasis on technical foundational courses for Technician Training Certifications. 
• Engineering Outreach impacting the next generation of minority students earning STEM degrees by focusing on primary education and specifically identifying tools/models for enriching STEM interest, engagement, and understanding.
