Abstract : Each year, CRDEC annually sponsors the Summer Faculty Research and Engineering Program (SFREP) and the Summer Associateship Program for High School Science and Mathematics Faculty (HSSMF). These summer programs are administered by the U.S. Army Research Office, Research Triangle Park, NC. Under the auspices of the SFREP, university professors are awarded up to a 12-week summer position at a Government laboratory/center to conduct or assist in a research or engineering project. The HSSMF Program is a 10-week program in which secondary school teachers are contracted to conduct or assist in science or mathematics projects at a Government laboratory/center. one of the main objectives of these programs is to provide a personal experience base from which faculty members may counsel and encourage students to seek science and mathematics curricula. The CRDEC has participated in both programs since inception and positive results have been achieved. Past summer achievements have contributed greatly to CRDEC's mission accomplishments and our nation's chemical defense program.
