Laboratory Research in Civil & Enviromental Engineering: A Undergraduate Research Experience (REU)

本科生实验室科研建议方案的体会 是基于一个强大的实验研究计划，利用现代实验室 所有主要民用和环境分领域的设施 工程. 这个项目旨在激发兴奋， 动机和研究承诺的本科生通过 在以下指导下进行的动手实验室研究实验 资深研究员。 学生将与 根据他们的兴趣，背景， 人才：混凝土和建筑材料，环境 工程、水力学、遥感和结构工程。 学生们可以两人一组。 该计划是建立在一个非常 成功的REU计划在土木和环境工程在 1989年夏天。 每个实验室项目都有一名教员担任联合校长 负责的调查员。 经过深思熟虑的评价、反馈 和互动机制的设计，以确保 本科实验室研究经验将是人才的诱惑 学生认真考虑工程方面的深造。 该提案确定了大量的研究活动， 根据学生的兴趣和天赋来匹配。 一 强有力的少数族裔招聘、咨询和辅导计划将 确保有兴趣的少数民族学生可以识别， 招募的

The proposed program of undergraduate laboratory research experiences is based on a strong experimental research program using modern lab facilities in all principal subareas of civil and environmental engineering. The program is designed to generate excitement, motivations and research commitment by undergraduate students through hands-on lab research experiments performed with the guidance of experienced senior researchers. Students will be matched with the following laboratories, based on their interest, backgrounds, and talents: Concrete and Construction Materials, Environmental Engineering, Hydraulics, Remote Sensing, and Structural Engineering. The students could work in pairs. The program is building on a very successful REU program in civil and environmental engineering in the summer of 1989. Each laboratory program has a faculty member as co-principal investigator in charge. A carefully thought-out evaluation, feedback and interaction mechanism has been designed to assure that the undergraduate lab research experience will be enticement for talented students to think seriously about advanced studies in engineering. The proposal identifies a great number of research activities with which the students will be matched, based on interest and talent. A strong minority recruitment, and advising and counseling program will assure that the interested minority students can be identified and recruited.
