An REU site is established to address the problem of inspiring undergraduate chemical engineering students to pursue careers in research. Junior-level chemical engineering students from various schools throughout the U.S. and its possessions will be invited to the site to work in relevant areas of research within chemical engineering. The focus of the program is on new areas within chemical engineering and on novel applications in traditional areas. The program will give each participant a formal introduction to research and a well defined project with faculty supervision, but the participants will also be encouraged to be creative and independent as they develop. The students will be paid stipends of $ 2,000 for the ten week program in addition to being housed and fed on campus. A travel allowance for each student is also included in the budget. Although the program is not limited to minorities and women, an effort will be made to include a significant fraction from these groups. The combination of extensive facilities and a commitment to undergraduate research provides important characteristics. The faculty is committed to this program. Research projects include lipid-water phase behavior and bacterial growth, polymer properties and productive, solubility vapors in polymers, instrument interfacing, supercritical fluid technology, and computer simulation of physisorption phenomena.

REU网站的建立是为了解决激励本科生化学工程专业学生从事研究事业的问题。来自美国各地不同学校及其属地的初级化学工程学生将被邀请到该地点从事化学工程领域的相关研究工作。该计划的重点是化学工程领域的新领域和传统领域的新应用。该项目将为每个参与者提供一个正式的研究介绍和一个明确的项目，并在教师的监督下进行，但也将鼓励参与者在发展过程中保持创造性和独立性。这些学生除了在校园内住宿和吃饭外，还将获得2000美元的津贴，用于为期10周的项目。预算中还包括每个学生的旅费津贴。尽管该计划并不局限于少数族裔和女性，但将努力将这些群体中的一大部分包括在内。广泛的设施和致力于本科生研究的结合提供了重要的特点。教职员工致力于这一计划。研究项目包括脂质-水相行为和细菌生长、聚合物性质和聚合物中的生产性、溶解性蒸汽、仪器接口、超临界流体技术以及物理吸附现象的计算机模拟。
