23 Januar 2024 - 12:30PM
Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”), a
global supplier of innovative electronic and structural solutions
for the aerospace and defense industry, in conjunction with the Los
Angeles Chargers and the University of California, Irvine (UCI),
proudly marked the sixth anniversary of the STEM on the SidelinesTM
initiative promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics in local Los Angeles and Orange County high schools on
December 9, 2023 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
“We are thrilled with the evolution and progress of this
important initiative partnering with the Los Angeles Chargers and
UCI, which is now in its sixth year” said Stephen G. Oswald,
chairman, president and chief executive officer of Ducommun
Incorporated. “As a manufacturer of engineered products and
services, it is our ongoing responsibility to continuously promote
STEM in local high schools and expose these disciplines to students
in the hope of inspiring them to pursue a meaningful career in a
technical field in the future.”
STEM on the SidelinesTM is a fun contest for teams of three to
five students each to use STEM skills to build, program and
navigate a rover over various football themed courses and
obstacles. The sixth annual competition was held at SoFi Stadium in
Inglewood, California, on December 9, 2023 with a total of 19
teams, comprised of an estimated 100 students from 11 different
high schools. Since the program’s inception in 2018, a total of
more than 700 students have participated and benefitted from their
involvement in STEM on the SidelinesTM.
“It is incredibly gratifying to see the growth and the success
of the program over the last six years as it harnesses the
synergistic strengths of each of the partners. Over the course of
several months, students from Orange County and Los Angeles County
high schools work in teams with a focus on engineering design and
build skills such as collaboration, creativity, critical thinking,
and communication. Most importantly, we have adhered to our core
mission of expanding access for students from backgrounds with
historically low levels of participation in higher education as we
encourage the next generation of STEM professionals,” said Leyla
Riley, director of outreach, UC Irvine Samueli School of
Engineering.
The 2023 STEM on the Sidelines™ champions, the “Rock-It
Robotics” team from Fountain Valley High School in Orange County,
California was honored on the field at the Chargers’ home game
against the Kansas City Chiefs on January 7, 2024 at SoFi Stadium
in Inglewood, California with representatives from Ducommun
Incorporated, University of California Irvine, and University of
California MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement)
program.
