To provide hands-on experiences in the earth sciences or science outreach, provide insights into career opportunities, and interest underrepresented undergraduate students in Earth science-related careers, SCEC has funded 72 students (including 39 women and 16 minority students) to work alongside 50 SCEC scientists over the past 7 years. For summer 2001, the program was not funded through SCEC due to budget constraints in the last year of NSF funding, however three undergraduate students participated in a modified program based on funding from research mentors. To begin the summer, the interns attended a Communication Workshop held jointly with interns from the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER). Students participated in a two-part field trip led by Dr. James Dolan (USC) and Dr. Doug Yule (CSUN). Finally, students present posters at the SCEC annual meeting.
