Laboratory Research in Civil & Environmental Engineering: An Undegraduate Research Experience

康奈尔大学的本科生实验室研究体验项目是基于这样一个事实，即康奈尔大学土木与环境工程学院拥有强大的实验研究项目，利用土木工程和环境工程的所有主要分领域的现代实验室设施。该项目旨在根据学生的兴趣、背景和才能，在以下实验室与教师一起进行动手实验室研究实验：混凝土与建筑材料、环境工程、岩土工程、水力学、遥感和结构工程。该计划是建立在过去两个夏天在康奈尔大学举行的土木和环境工程方面成功的REU计划的基础上的。每个实验室项目都有一名教员作为联合首席研究员负责。经过深思熟虑的评估、反馈和互动机制的设计，确保了本科生的实验研究经历是对有才华的学生认真考虑工科深造的诱因。康奈尔大学的少数族裔招生、咨询和咨询计划确保了感兴趣的少数族裔学生能够被识别和招募。

The program for undergraduate laboratory research experience at Cornell University is based on the fact that Cornell's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering has a strong experimental research program using modern lab facilities in all principal subareas of civil and environmental engineering. The program is designed to generate hands- on-lab research experiments performed with faculty in the following laboratories, based on the students' interests, backgrounds, and talents: Concrete and Construction Materials, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical, Hydraulics, Remote Sensing, and Structural Engineering. The program is building on a successful REU program in civil and environmental engineering held at Cornell the past two summers. 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 is an enticement for talented students to think seriously about advanced studies in engineering. Cornell's minority recruitment, and advising and counseling program assures that the interested minority students can be identified and recruited.
