9424143 Busch-Vishniac The REU Site established at the Center for Energy Studies and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas (UT) Austin will involve 36 female, African American, Hispanic, and Native American undergraduates in energy research over a three year period. The research will be conducted over a ten week period in the summers by 11 students each year. Student recruiting will be concentrated at institutions of higher education that have historically enrolled and graduated groups underrepresented in engineering. Prairie View A&M University, University of Texas Pan American, Texas Southern University, Lamar University, University of Houston, and University of Texas El Paso will be the primary schools targeted because of the relationships that have been established with engineering faculty and professional staff at these locations. Other campuses in the state will be targeted that have National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Society of Hispanic Professional Engineering (SHPE), or Society of Women Engineers (SWE) chapters. The goal is to have at least 75% of the participants chosen to be from a campus other than UT Austin. The other 25% would be chosen from the UT Austin campus. Students chosen for the REU program will participate in state-of-the-art energy related research sponsored by industry and the federal government led by faculty members. The students will meet weekly with faculty supervisors and bi-weekly as a group to exchange information and ides about the progress on their various projects. These young engineers will be enrolled for three hours upper-division class credit which they can transfer back to their home institutions. The summer's research activity will culminate in the writing and presentation of a final report summarizing the student's research activities. ***

小行星9424143 在能源研究中心和得克萨斯大学（UT）奥斯汀机械工程系建立的REU网站将涉及36名女性，非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和美洲原住民本科生在三年内进行能源研究。 这项研究将在每年夏天由11名学生进行，为期10周。 招生将集中在历史上招收和毕业的群体在工程方面代表性不足的高等教育机构。 Prairie View A M University、University of Texas Pan American、Texas Southern University、Lamar University、University of Houston和University of Texas El Paso将成为目标小学，因为这些学校已与工程学院和专业人员建立了关系。 该州的其他校园将成为全国黑人工程师协会（NSBE）、西班牙裔专业工程师协会（SHPE）或女工程师协会（SWE）分会的目标。 我们的目标是有至少75%的参与者选择从校园以外UT奥斯汀。 另外25%将从UT奥斯汀校区选择。 被选入REU项目的学生将参加由行业和联邦政府赞助的最先进的能源相关研究，由教师领导。 学生们将每周与教师主管会面，每两周作为一个小组交流有关他们各种项目进展的信息和想法。 这些年轻的工程师将被录取为三个小时的高年级学分，他们可以转移回他们的家乡机构。 夏季的研究活动将在总结学生的研究活动的最终报告的写作和演示达到高潮。 ***
