The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division entered into a five-year agreement with the University of the District of Columbia to deliver guidance, research opportunities and internships in the areas of material science, nanotechnology, additive manufacturing and robotics.
The partnership aims to expose graduate students to NSWC Carderock’s equipment, facilities and research projects in line with surface warfare science, the Naval Sea Systems Command said Tuesday.
NSWC Carderock conducts research efforts in various areas such as hydrodynamics, material technology and silencing systems.
The center has also formed partnerships with other educational institutions to market careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
