Department of Energy Strategic Plans And Activities in Energy Education

Authors

  • Brian Castelli

Abstract

This Administration is dedicated to the Goals 2000 principle that,
by the tum of the century, U.S. students again will be "the first in the
world in science and mathematics achievement." To realize this goal,
Secretary O'Leary committed Department of Energy (DOE) resources to
help train the next generation of scientists and engineers for the high tech industries upon which our national defense, sustainable economy
and environmental quality will rely.
Our strategic plans for education extend beyond the replenish-
ment of a scientific and engineering pool. To ensure this Nation's lead-
ership in world markets, the Department envisions a total citizenry that
is technology literate and energy concerned. In partnership with other
government agencies, industry, and the academic world, we seek to
revitalize science studies and provide all Americans information on
which they can base knowledgeable energy investment decisions.
