This $345,711 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund a collaborative four-year workshop series called "Spectrum Sizzle" to expand undergraduate expertise in electromagnetic spectrum science and engineering.

The award supports the Baylor University-led effort, which involves partners Virginia Tech, New York Institute of Technology, and Colorado State University. Over Summer 2025, each university will host a 3.5-day residential workshop for 30-40 undergraduate students, totaling 150-160 participants across the four events. The workshops will provide hands-on activities related to spectrum policy, communication systems, radar, passive systems, and circuit design, as well as panel discussions on spectrum careers and graduate opportunities. This project aims to develop the future spectrum workforce and elevate national awareness, as emphasized by the 2023 National Spectrum Strategy.
