The science, technology, engineering and math competition served as an opportunity to leverage the next generation of technical and warfighting excellence by challenging students from three senior military colleges. “You all represent a diverse range of majors, from computer science to mechanical engineering to chemical engineering to physics, all of which align with what drives DEVCOM in our commitment to service,” Beth Ferry, the Director of DEVCOM Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence Surveillance, Reconnaissance Center, told the students during the opening remarks. “Reviewing your proposals, I’m very excited to listen to your technical presentations.” “You all represent a diverse range of majors, from computer science to mechanical engineering to chemical engineering to physics, all of which align with what drives DEVCOM in our commitment to service,” Beth Ferry, the Director of DEVCOM Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence Surveillance, Reconnaissance Center, told the students during the opening remarks. “Reviewing your proposals, I’m very excited to listen to your technical presentations.” Ferry served as the keynote speaker and as one of five judges for the finalist event. Four teams from Norwich University, The Citadel and Virginia Military Institute worked on a problem set that focused on developing alternative power sources for existing communication devices. Each team worked alongside DEVCOM civilians and service members, who served as mentors and stewards of DEVCOM as the preeminent technology organization of the Army and as a community leader in growing STEM education. Col. Cade Saie, the Military Deputy for DEVCOM Analysis Center, or DAC, served as a mentor for Norwich Cadets, comprised of students from Norwich University, as they worked on a portable, energy dense charging system for their project, and came away from the competition proud of the way his team, and all the teams, attempted to tackle the problem set from the perspective of a military officer. “One of the aspects of being an officer is that you must have the ability to problem
