Outreach

The ARL at UH focuses on developing the next generation of innovators in Hawai’i and designs projects to develop and train a high-tech workforce that can locally support Department of Defense (DoD) and the State of Hawai’i.

Outreach to students includes: hiring graduate and undergraduate students to support projects for UH faculty; mentoring local high school students during summer internship programs; including students in field exercises with DoD and local stakeholders to meet potential employers; and sponsoring Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) competitions and conferences in Hawai’i.

The ARL at UH has recently transitioned into a new role as a resource for DoD organizations such as Air Force Research Laboratory, Naval Special Warfare Command, Defense Intelligence Agency, Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and industries that desire to create a “pipeline” for student interns to support their organizations and needs.
