Undergraduate Research in Mechanical Engineering (REU)

将建立一个REU活动，为16名本科生提供各种各样的机会，进行广泛的机械工程项目研究。这些项目领域包括传热和流体、设计和控制、制造、材料力学、火箭发动机流体力学和复合材料。这项研究将由目前活跃在特定领域的教师指导。学生将被鼓励为他们的工作注册选修课程学分，并在必要时将接触到补充课程，如车间实践，仪器仪表，计算机和计算机图形使用。一系列教师和学生参与的研讨会是体验的间隔部分。每个学生的研究都需要一份正式的报告。

A REU activity will be established that will offer a wide variety of opportunities for 16 undergraduate students to perform research in a broad range of mechanical engineering projects. These project areas include heat transfer and fluids, design and control, manufacturing, and mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics in rocket motors, and composite materials. The research will be directed by the faculty who is currently active in the particular area. The student will be encouraged to enroll for optional course credit for their work and will be exposed, where necessary to supplemental programs such as shop practices, instrumentation, and computer and computer graphics usage. A series of seminars with faculty and student participation is an interval part of the experience. A formal report will be required of each student's research.
