Alan Dupre, who recently graduated from ASU with degrees in mechanical engineering, global health and physics with honors from ASU’s Barrett, The Honors College, has  been awarded a scholarship from the U.S. Department of Defense. Dupre, a graduate student in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools, says the scholarship will give him experience in both research and engineering roles that will prepare him to support national defense missions. This summer Dupre got a preview of his future with the defense department in a visit to Washington, D.C., where he will be working in a division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center.
