42 U.S.C. § 16342 — Science and engineering education pilot program
Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Establishment of pilot program** The Secretary shall award a grant to a Southeastern United States consortium of major research universities that currently advances science and education by partnering with National Laboratories, to establish a regional pilot program of its SEEK–16 program for enhancing scientific, technological, engineering, and mathematical literacy, creativity, and decision-making. The consortium shall include leading research universities, one or more universities that train substantial numbers of elementary and secondary school teachers, and (where appropriate) National Laboratories.
**(b) Program elements** The regional pilot program shall include—
(1) expanding strategic, formal partnerships among universities with strength in research, universities that train substantial numbers of elementary and secondary school teachers, and the private sector;
(2) combining Department expertise with one or more National Aeronautics and Space Administration Educator Resource Centers;
(3) developing programs to permit current and future teachers to participate in ongoing research projects at National Laboratories and research universities and to adapt lessons learned to the classroom;
(4) designing and implementing course work;
(5) designing and implementing a strategy for measuring and assessing progress under the program; and
(6) developing models for transferring knowledge gained under the pilot program to other institutions and areas of the United States.
**(c) Categorization** A grant under this section shall be considered an authorized activity under [section 7381b of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section7381b&num=0&edition=prelim).

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds the following:
(1) Scientific, technical, and engineering competence is essential to the Nation’s future well-being.
(2) The scientific, technical, and engineering capability at the Federal laboratories is unmatched throughout the world.
(3) Superb research, development, testing, and evaluation occur in Department of Energy research and development facilities.
(4) Department of Energy research and development facilities will play an increasing role in assuring that the United States remains competitive in world markets.
(5) Improvements in mathematics, science, and engineering education are needed desperately to provide the trained and educated citizenry essential to the future competitiveness of the United States.
(6) The future health and vitality of the economy of the United States is predicated on the availability of an adequate supply of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to provide for growing needs and to replenish the workforce.
(7) United States college and university enrollment in science, mathematics, and engineering programs is sharply declining at undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels.
(8) The Federal Government is the largest United States employer of research scientists, mathematicians, and engineers, and the Department of Energy has a growing need for scientists, mathematicians, and engineers at a time when these enrollments are declining.
(9) Women and minorities are grossly underrepresented in science and mathematics fields, and this group represents more than 80 percent of the projected increase in the national workforce through the year 2000.
**(b) Purposes** The purposes of this subchapter are—
(1) to encourage the development and implementation of science, mathematics, and engineerin
