Summer programs at Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport Teach Students About Engineering and Teamwork
NEWPORT, R.I. – When high school students arrive at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport each summer to work alongside scientists and engineers for the Undersea Technology Apprentice Program (UTAP), they usually don’t know each other or much about underwater robotics. That changes quickly.
Held in two, three-week sessions, Monday through Thursday, in Division Newport’s Undersea Collaboration and Technology Outreach Center, the 25 students in each session are randomly sorted into five teams of five students. Once in teams, the students assign themselves specific roles and responsibilities.
Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (NSMRL) Hosts Summer 2023 High School and College Interns
GROTON, Conn.— Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (NSMRL) hosted local high school and college students for a summer internship from Jun. 05 – Aug. 10.
NSMRL has provided these annual internships, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), for over a decade to offer hands-on research opportunities through the Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP) for high school students, and the Naval Research Enterprise Intern Program (NREIP) for college students.
Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division’s (NSWC IHD) Naval Energetics Technology Apprenticeship Program (NETAP) Students Heat Things Up in Summer Robotics Competition
Indian Head, Maryland – Twelve high school students with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division’s (NSWC IHD) Naval Energetics Technology Apprenticeship Program (NETAP) recently braved brutal temperatures during the program’s underwater robotics competition at the Naval Support Facility Indian Head’s Aquatics Center. The competition was the culmination of the high school students’ three-week summer internship with NSWC IHD.
NETAP provides students an opportunity to engage in a hands-on internship to develop their engineering skills. Over the course of this multi-week program, the students bolstered their tooling, soldering and programming skills by building miniature unmanned underwater vehicles. NETAP participants also received a $900 stipend to compensate for their time spent on the program.
Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) STEM Team Challenges and Inspires Kids at Spotsylvania-area Camp
DAHLGREN, Va. – A dozen Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) employees served as instructors at the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office STEM camp July 31-Aug. 3 at the Germanna Community College Fredericksburg Area Campus.
The NSWCDD volunteers included scientists, engineers and interns with a heart for community service and a desire to pass their expertise on to the next generation.

Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) Franchetti Talks STEM Skills at Autonomous Sub Contest
NAVAL BASE POINT LOMA, Calif. – As teams of college and high school students pored over their home-built robotic submarines and others prepared to place theirs in a huge, hillside water tank, Adm. Lisa Franchetti couldn’t be happier with what she saw.
Franchetti, current vice chief of naval operations and self-described STEM fan, sees the Navy’s strength and future in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills displayed by students and their autonomous underwater vehicles built for this year’s RoboSub competition.
