2021-22 Hume Center for National Security and Technology Workforce Development Programs
CACI Workforce Development Program
The CACI Scholar Development & Research Program (CACI SDRP) will be focused on developing the next generation of computer scientists and engineers focused on signal processing, communications, and software defined radio for the national security community. The Hume Center will run long-term security-focused engineering projects composed of teams of students that span the gamut of class from sophomore through senior level with projected degrees in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and other relevant degree programs. Research teams will be run as a joint effort between students, faculty, and a CACI mentor who defines the specific research problem in the topic of RF and communications, and students will be responsible for planning, execution, and final delivery of research results
MITRE Workforce Development Program
The MITRE Workforce Development Program is seeking rising sophomores and juniors with an interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Students will learn from two top Hume Center researchers in AI/ML, and will work in teams to research and present work to MITRE subject matter experts in both the fall and spring semesters, after which the students will have a guaranteed internship with MITRE for the summer. These internships may become real jobs, as MITRE will choose students from the cohort to continue on in the program with job offers post-graduation. This program expects students to engage on the project for 8-10 hours per week, and all participants will receive a stipend each semester.
Raytheon/ DoD Workforce Development Program
The core goal of this Workforce Development Program is to support Raytheon and the Department of Defense (DoD) with the identification and cultivation of a pipeline of clearable U.S. citizens interested in cyber security and machine learning. Selected students will attend bi-weekly lectures, participate in seminars, and complete a project-based curriculum on topics related to cyber security and machine learning to prepare them for guaranteed internships at Raytheon or the DoD in summer 2022. All students in the program will receive a research stipend and will work on the program for 8-10 hours per week during the academic year. Contingent on performance throughout the academic year and internship, you may be offered a full-time position and start your security clearance as part of this program.
All applications must be submitted by the end of the day Wednesday, March 31, 2021.
