An REU Site Program is proposed that will offer a wide variety of opportunities of approximately 10 students to perform research on a broad range of mechanical engineering topics during a 9-week summer period. National advertising of the program and selection procedures to be used as an integral part of the program will maximize the possibility of attracting top students nationally, including students who are women, handicapped, members of minority groups. Students selected for the program will have the opportunity of choosing a summer project from a wide range of topics that encompass virtually the complete realm of mechanical engineering. Specific topics are scheduled to be directed by faculty members with a specialty in that specific areas and who are active in research in those topics. The students will be encouraged to enroll in an optional credit course for their work. Supplemental programs, such as fundamentals of shop practice, instrumentation, and computer and computer graphics use, will be available to participants who do not have that background. An integral thrust of the program is a seminar series that includes the students presentation of their research plans (after approximately one week on the program) and their results (at the end of the program). A formal written report will be required of each student summarizing their efforts. In all cases, attempts will be made to have the students work publishable in the technical press. Based on past experience with similar programs, it is anticipated some of the student work will, in fact, be publishable and that a large number of these students will go on to graduate school. Research areas involve engineering design, control theory, fluid mechanics, heat transfer applied mechanics of composite and manufacturing.

REU网站计划提出，将提供各种各样的 大约10名学生有机会进行研究 在为期9周的夏季，广泛的机械工程主题 期 全国广告的方案和选择程序 作为该计划的一个组成部分将最大限度地提高 吸引全国顶尖学生的可能性，包括学生 她们是女性，残疾人，少数民族 学生 被选中的程序将有机会选择一个 暑期项目，从广泛的主题，包括几乎 整个机械工程领域。 具体的主题是 计划由专门从事这方面工作的教员指导， 具体领域和谁是活跃在这些主题的研究。 的 鼓励学生参加选修学分课程， 他们的工作。 补充计划，如商店的基本知识 实践，仪器仪表，计算机和计算机图形的使用， 将提供给没有这种背景的参与者。 一个 该计划的整体推力是一个研讨会系列，包括 学生介绍他们的研究计划（大约一个 在节目的最后一周）和他们的结果（在节目的最后）。 一 每个学生都必须提交一份正式的书面报告， 他们的努力。 在所有情况下，将努力使 学生们在技术出版社工作。 根据以往 与类似计划的经验，预计一些 事实上，学生的工作将是可重复的， 这些学生将继续读研究生。 研究领域涉及 工程设计，控制理论，流体力学，传热学 复合材料与制造的应用力学
