The National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship application is open.
As a means of increasing the number of U.S. citizens and nationals trained in science and engineering disciplines of military importance, the Department of Defense (DoD) plans to award approximately 200 new three-year graduate fellowships in April 2008, subject to the availability of funds. The DoD will offer these fellowships to individuals who have demonstrated ability and special aptitude for advanced training in science and engineering. National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowships are awarded to applicants who will pursue a graduate degree in, or closely related to, an area of DoD interest within one of the following disciplines:
* Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering
* Biosciences
* Chemical Engineering
* Chemistry
* Civil Engineering
* Cognitive, Neural, and Behavioral Sciences
* Computer and Computational Sciences
* Electrical Engineering
* Geosciences
* Materials Science and Engineering
* Mathematics
* Mechanical Engineering
* Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering
* Oceanography
* Physics
ASEE manages the application process for NDSEG and other fellowships including: National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program – Science, Mathematics, And Research for Transformation (SMART) Defense Scholarship for Service Program. ASEE also publishes this blog.
Carnegie Mellon University Electrical and Computer Engineering Students win NDSEG Fellowships:
ECE students John Reinke and Nicholas O’Donoughue were selected for the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, which will cover their tuition and stipends over three years. Alumnus Daniel Weller (B.S. 2006) also qualified for the honor and will use his fellowship at MIT, where he is a graduate student in electrical engineering.
…
Spending two summers interning at Honeywell’s primary research center, John Reinke was exposed to several microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) projects, including a chip-scale atomic clock, a MEMS gyroscope, and a liquid gallium switch. His experience led him to pursue graduate study in the MEMS Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon designing radio frequency (RF) micromechanical switches and tunable capacitors made in foundry complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes.
…
Nicholas O’Donoughue conducts research in signal processing applications and algorithms in the Time Reversal Imaging Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon. His studies focus on creating novel algorithms to improve the resolution and applicability of radar imaging through time reversal techniques. This new methodology has applications of interest to national defense, because it may be used to detect objects that are buried under heavy clutter, such as under forest canopies.

Gustavus Alumna Receives Prestigious Fellowship
Gustavus alumna Kelly Younge was recently awarded a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. Younge graduated from Gustavus in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in physics, and is currently in the doctoral program in physics at the University of Michigan.
…
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research chose Younge among 200 recipients for the NDSEG Fellowship out of more than 3,400 applicants.
During her time at Gustavus, Younge was involved in the Society of Physics Students and Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honor society. She worked closely with Professor of Physics, Paul Saulnier and together they authored a paper titled “A Model System for Examining the Radial Distribution Function,” which was published in the American Journal of Physics in 2004.
