The SERC is having an exciting June. Through the Acquisition Innovation Research Center, we launched the pilot for the Defense Civilian Training Corps at four notable universities across the United States. I encourage you to read how this initiative will revitalize the civilian workforce of the Department of Defense.

This issue of the SERC Updates also features the Capstone Marketplace, in which undergraduate teams collaborate on real-life challenge projects from DoD units. Capstone and DCTC are two examples of our commitment to developing the next generation of systems engineers and acquisition professionals. Please enjoy reading, and I wish you a relaxing summer.

Sincerely,
Dinesh Verma
Executive Director[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”research”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”15025″ img_size=”large”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][vc_single_image image=”18375″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://sercuarc.org/capstone-marketplace-concludes-dynamic-year-of-research/”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”4/5″][vc_column_text]

In its summer newsletter, the Center for Trustworthy Edge Computing Systems and Applications (TECoSA) in Sweden wrote about a meeting of the Archimedes Initiative, a global collaboration for systems engineering. SERC Executive Director Dinesh Verma (second from left) and CTO Tom McDermott (second from right) attended with partners from TECoSA, TNO-ESI, and the DLR Institute Systems Engineering for Future Mobility.
