Alaska Native Science and Engineering

This program will give Alaska Native students the opportunity to learn about the importance of BOEM's mission to manage the development of US Outer Continental Shelf energy and mineral resources while exploring future career options with BOEM. Assignments will be designed to provide orientation and experience in the practical application of the theories, concepts and principles of petroleum engineering, geology, geophysics, and/or environmental science. The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) is designated as tax exempt under the IRS for Institutions of Higher Education. Established in 1995, ANSEP has evolved into a longitudinal education model that provides a continuous string of components beginning with students in sixth grade and continuing through high school, into science and engineering undergraduate and graduate degree programs through PhD.
