Cadets from ROTC programs around the country travel to Fort Knox to learn necessary skills to plan missions and events for younger students at their universities.

electrical & computer engineering. Students can choose to work on the theory that drives the development of new molecules for trapping solar energy, new electrode materials and chemistry for batteries, or models for grid management of renewable energy. Other labs work on integrating these new materials into devices at both the nano- and macro-scale. By the end of the summer, students are familiar with both the technical skills of performing research within the lab, and the social and cultural skills
