Description

Workforce development remains a high priority for the DoE High Energy Physics program. Scientists and engineers who currently participate in DoE projects were often introduced to research as undergraduates at our Universities. Preserving a strong and continuous human and facilities infrastructure at our nation's universities is essential to maintaining an effective and sustainable program into the foreseeable future. The author will describe a program that he led at the University of Michigan that produced more than 7000 fiber positioning robots for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument involving over two dozen undergraduates in all aspects of scientific research.
