Research Experience For Undergraduates (REU): Research Participation in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

建立了REU现场项目，涉及8名学生参加教师的研究活动。该计划旨在提高工程专业合格本科生对研究和研究生学习机会的认识。一个充满活力的研讨会计划将包括外部演讲者，教师和研究生。将举办一个论坛，允许REU本科生向教师和研究生展示他们的研究成果。典型的学生研究项目包括：(1)机器人视觉系统，(2)设计自动化软件的约束转换，(3)非均匀流动与结构的相互作用，(4)股绞索的流体力学，(5)振动测试方法和动力系统建模，(6)粘弹性材料中的裂纹扩展，(7)沸腾过程中成核点之间的相互作用，(8)三维温度场映射，(9)冰箱和冰柜中的冷库；（10）行星飞行器的低推力推进；（11）确定轨道的焦点拉普拉斯方法。

A REU site program is established involving 8 students in research activities of the faculty. The program is designed to ncrease the awareness of qualified undergraduate students in engineering of the opportunities afforded by research and graduate study. A vigorous seminar program will include outside speakers, the faculty, and graduate students is planned. A forum will be held to permit REU undergraduate students to present the results of their research to the faculty and graduate students. Typical student research projects include: (1) robotic vision system, (2) constraint translation for design automation software, (3) nonuniform flow interaction with structures, (4) fluid mechanics of stranded cables, (5) vibration test methods and dynamic system modelling, (6) crack propagation in viscoelastic materials, (7) interaction between nucleation sites in boiling, (8) mapping three-dimensional temperature fields, (9) cold storage in refrigerators and freezers, (10) low thrust propulsion for planetary vehicles, and (11) focus-centered Laplace method for orbital determination.
