Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This REU program will help ten students develop independent, creative research skills and produce high-quality, publishable research in key areas of chemical engineering. The REU program will also provide research mentors and role models who encourage the students to consider the pursuit of advanced degrees and careers in research. The program is also designed to help develop ties between regional chemical engineering programs to promote research and graduate school as career options to undergraduates. The recruiting focus will be on students who are members of groups underrepresented in engineering attending regional schools with undergraduate-oriented programs. Students will work closely with faculty as integral parts of their advisor' research groups on projects that are uniquely their own. They will give regular oral progress reports to their peers, make a formal presentation open to the public, and prepare a final report. Weekly presentations by faculty members will expose students to a range of career opportunities in research and several free-form brainstorming sessions will be held to promote creativity.
