Diverse Experiences Involving Science, Engineering and Technology

Oak Ridge National Laboratories was established in 1943 to carry out a single, well-defined mission of the pilot-scale production and separation of plutonium for the World War II Manhattan Project. The Laboratory has advanced into a unique resource for addressing important national and global energy and environmental issues. It initiates the development of new energy sources, technologies, and materials and the advancement of knowledge in the biological, chemical, computational, engineering, environmental, physical, and social sciences. A research opportunity at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory may result in providing more knowledge within the student than one full academic school year. As a junior or a senior student, it is always recommended to take the research and development route in the science, engineering and technology fields. The outcome of the coop or internship research program would be very influential to submit a project based abstract and present findings before a panel and carry out a discussion with professionals in the field. The project assignment may include detailed structured array platform, which would be designed to detect a signal using fabricated arrays of micro-devices. Aspects for projects would be designed usually to accommodate Homeland Security efforts as well as energy conservation, and process control.
