Ahmed Osmand and Sam Wreh, both students at Tennessee State, work on fiber optic sensors for use in their metallurgy research in July 2019 at S&T. The students participated in S&T’s Summer Engineering Research Academy (SERA). Photo by Tom Wagner/Missouri S&T taken before current COVID-19 guidance.
Rising juniors and seniors from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) join S&T’s College of Engineering and Computing again this year for an eight-week summer research and mentoring experience as part of the third annual Summer Engineering Research Academy (SERA).
If you have a project and would like to have a student join your team this summer, please contact Dr. Kelley Wilkerson, teaching professor of materials science and engineering, at krowb4@mst.edu by Monday, March 15. Faculty leading sponsored research projects with diversity goals are strongly encouraged to join the 2021 SERA program, though external funding is not a requirement to participate.
Participating HBCUs include Jackson State University, Tuskegee University, and Morgan State University.
