Research in Particulate systems Engineering in crucial to advances in combustion, atmospheric and environmental sciences, nuclear winter studies, nuclear reactor safety, and materials manufacturing. The purpose of this project is to provide research experiences for undergraduate students in this area. At least half of the students will be selected from institutions other the UMC, with several recruited from Stephens College (a women's college), Lincoln University (HCBU), and other undergraduate schools in the State. Each student will undertake a specific research project, and a faculty advisor (participating in the REU program) will work with the student to develop his/her research skills. An essential element of the program will be its emphasis on professional development of the students (e.g., paper writing and technical presentations). The purpose is to infuse bright undergraduate students with an enthusiasm towards research careers, including graduate level education. The University of Missouri-Columbia has made substantial institutional commitments to the program. These include support of faculty time, waiver of tuition and fees for the student Participants, waiver of all overhead costs, and stipends for two minority students (in addition to those supported by the NSF funds).

粒子系统工程的研究对燃烧、大气和环境科学、核冬季研究、核反应堆安全和材料制造的进步至关重要。本项目的目的是为这一领域的本科生提供研究经验。至少一半的学生将从联华电子的其他机构中挑选，有几名学生将从斯蒂芬斯学院(一所女子学院)、林肯大学(HCBU)和该州其他本科生学校招收。每个学生将从事一个特定的研究项目，一名教师顾问(参与REU计划)将与学生合作发展他/她的研究技能。该计划的一个基本要素是强调学生的专业发展(例如，论文写作和技术演示)。其目的是向聪明的本科生灌输对研究职业的热情，包括研究生教育。密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校已经为该项目做出了重大的机构承诺。这些措施包括支持教师时间，免除学生参与者的学杂费，免除所有管理费用，以及为两名少数族裔学生提供津贴(除了由NSF基金资助的学生)。
