The Cooperative Developmental Energy Program (CDEP) is a pre-collegiate/collegiate STEM pipeline program. Its objective is to prepare students for STEM careers and increase the participation of underrepresented minorities and women in the STEM workforce. The Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Academy (M-SEA) program component of CDEP, an early intervention pre-college program that targets minority and female students who have just been promoted to the ninth grade, is supported by this funding. M-SEA students are introduced to the fields of energy, mathematics, earth science, biology, engineering, and health physics. The program is unique in that the pre-collegiate component is a feeder program for the dual degree collegiate component fo CDEP.
