Our Mission

The mission of the UConn/URI Navy STEM Coalition is to build a strong community of regional stakeholders who occupy roles within academia, the naval technology industry and government organizations, who are united by their shared commitment to develop a STEM workforce that will support both the regional and national Navy enterprise in the coming years.

A strong understanding of Naval STEM fundamentals helps students transition into exciting academic opportunities–for example, URI’s robust Ocean Engineering program, which is offered at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Following this academic pathway can lead to many important research opportunities, including (but not limited to) the development and deployment of an underwater ROV (remotely operated vehicle), one of which has been hard at work discovering historically significant shipwrecks! Learn more here:
