Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site: Chemical and Biochemical Engineering

小行星9423989 化学和生物化学工程系在爱荷华州的大学支持本科生（REU）网站的研究经验，每年有10名学生从选定的大学和学院在美国各地，重点是从六个历史上的黑人学院和大学和四个小型文理学院招聘进行为期8周的夏季研究。 这些学生将与七名教师顾问之一相匹配，以便他们能够在与他们的兴趣最密切相关的领域进行研究。 个别项目将在监管REU教师的专业知识的研究领域，以确保REU学生和每个研究小组的研究生之间的直接科学互动。 一个密切的师生互动将在日常讨论有关特定项目和其他研究相关问题的可行性发展。 此外，还将举行每周一次的研究相关问题研讨会和许多社会活动。 夏季课程将以“内部”研究会议结束，在此期间，REU学生将展示他们的研究成果。 预计在研究的早期阶段，REU顾问的重要指导是必要的。 随着研究的进展，REU顾问将逐渐降低指导水平，以使学生在其能力范围内尽可能独立。 所有这些计划和活动都是为了实现使本科生更了解化学和生物化学工程研究生研究机会的目标。 ***

9423989 Murhammer The Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at The University of Iowa support for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site, with ten students per year from selected universities and colleges throughout the United States, with an emphasis on recruitment from six Historically Black Colleges and Universities and four small liberal arts colleges to conduct research for an 8 week summer period. These students will be matched with one of seven faculty advisors in order that they can conduct research in an area most closely related to their interests. The individual projects will be in research areas of expertise of the supervising REU faculty to ensure direct scientific interaction between the REU students and the graduate students of each research group. A close student-faculty interaction will be developed during daily discussions about the progpess of the particular project and other research related issues. In addition, weekly seminars on research-related issues and many social events will be held. The summer's program will conclude with an "in-house" research conference during which the REU students will present their research results. It is expected that significant guidance by the REU advisor will be necessary during the early stages of the research. As the research progresses, the REU advisor will gradually decrease the level of guidance in order to move the student toward as much independence as his/her ability warrants. All of these programs and activities are planned to achieve the goal of making undergraduate students more aware of graduate research opportunities in chemical and biochemical engineering. ***
