<Title>A Successful Internship at Northrop Grumman</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">This summer Mr. Peter Serp, an ME S-STEM scholar, interned at Northrop Grumman in Annapolis, MD. While there he did research using 3D printers by testing different material capabilities and how they react in different environments (temp/pressure) or when exposed to different chemicals. He also participated in events and seminars lead by different subject experts at the company dealing with materials, additive manufacturing, and underwater systems. Mr. Serp has already been asked to return for summer 2023, congratulation!</div>

<Title>Summer Internship in RMF Engineering</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">ME S-STEM scholar Joe Schlee worked with the Baltimore buildings group in RMF engineering as a mechanical engineer, with a specific focus on lab development. RMF Engineering is a full-service firm that offers a large variety of engineering solutions to clients interested in renovations or large-scale infrastructure and building projects. Through his internship, he learned many new skills such as duct routing, pipe routing (mechanical and plumbing), 2D and 3D drafting, document preparation, and the design process that goes into building development. Some of his job duties included preparing and updating cad models of projects with HVAC and plumbing solutions. he was also involved in the planning and load analysis of a few smaller projects. Later in the internship, he visited on-site for some of our projects to analyze their current HVAC system, and create drawings to help plan future renovations of the project. Overall, Mr. Schlee would say this has been a great experience for him, and he will be continuing this internship throughout the school year.</div>

<Title>REU experience at University of Florida</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Over the summer of 2022, ME S-STEM scholar, Ms. Chizaram Ugboh participated in a summer REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) at the University of Florida (UF). She had the pleasure of working under Dr. Spearot to investigate dynamic fracture within a hydrogel at the atomistic level. She spent the first few weeks reading various scientific literature on basic hydrogels and PEGDA hydrogels, molecular dynamics, and multiscale modeling and simulation. For weeks three and onwards, she practice atomistic simulation with a peptide molecule and a vacancy defect to improve my programming skills on a Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS). Soon after she had sharpened her skills with LAMMPS, she began to produce hydrogels of different water concentrations and record their stress and strain data at different timesteps. Having five different water concentrations of hydrogels made it possible for her to see how the hydrogels became more elastic as they absorbed more water. Lastly, she I implemented the break bonds command in the code to cause a fracture. The breaking of bonds for a hydrogel with 50% water weight was compared to a hydrogel with 90% water weight to see how many bonds broke. In my final days at UF, she created a presentation of my work over the ten weeks and presented it to my cohort, various UF graduate students, and faculty.</div>
