Education is vital to the Directed Energy community. Fostering the professional growth of current
workers in the field and increasing the number of young, new members in the community are important
DEPS educational goals.
In support of those efforts, DEPS hosts an annual educational workshop co-located with our
Annual DE S&T Symposium designed to allow
students studying in the area of directed energy to present their work. The Workshop is
intended to be a low-threat environment, offering the speaker an opportunity to gain technical
presentation experience, and, of course, to present his/her interesting research.
This 2024 Workshop is the twenty-third in a series of DE Education
Workshops to advance these goals.
The Workshops also consider current and future Directed Energy education programs around the
country. Support for the Workshop is provided by the Directed Energy Joint Transition Office
and by DEPS.
The scope of the DE Education Workshop includes:
- Graduate/post-graduate studies and technical vocational training
- Oral presentations from all 2023-24 DE Graduate Scholars
- Professional continuing education
- Student motivators (scholarships, fellowships, recognitions)
- Summer internship programs
- Curriculum development
- An exclusive Roundtable Reception for students and early career professionals (ECPs)
Additionally, the Workshop offers a sampling of the work currently being pursued
by students, especially those supported by JTO and ONR internships or scholarships.
The Workshop will be held in parallel with sessions of the
2024 Annual Directed Energy Science and Technology Symposium.
Proceedings of the Workshop will be included in the unclassified Symposium proceedings.
Proceedings from previous Workshops are available through the
DEPS online store.

This event is designed to give students and early career professionals (ECPs) the opportunity to

the job hunt, seeking advice about professional growth, or simply hoping to learn about possible
career paths, this event is an excellent opportunity to expand both the knowledge base and the
network of contacts for our student attendees.
