Modernizing our world’s use of spectrum is a long-term, broad-reaching, multifaceted, and multidisciplinary objective that can only be achieved through the joint innovation and effort of scientists, engineers, policy makers, economists, and more. As such, it is critical that tomorrow’s pioneers be trained and educated in matters of spectrum policy, resource use, and wireless technology. Therefore, we are committed to developing the best future spectrum workforce possible.
In 2023, we established an undergraduate spectrum workshop called Spectrum Sizzle, training students on wireless communications, radar systems, spectrum policy, high-frequency circuity, and passive sensor systems, as well as a summer graduate fellows program that launched in Summer 2024.
In Summer 2025, the workshops will expand to three more locations across the U.S.
