REU Site: Summer Research Experiences in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering for Community

建议没有。摘要：在洛约拉玛丽蒙特大学建立REU网站的目的是让本科生参与研究，否则他们可能没有这样的机会。来自洛杉矶的社区大学学生将构成目标群体。进一步的意图是尽一切努力从传统上在工程专业中代表性不足的群体中识别和选择学生。该研究部分将重点研究不同冷轧方式对铝锂合金和铼金属晶体织构和力学性能的影响，影响7050铝合金翘曲轮廓的因素，开发基于个人计算机的计算机辅助设计和制造方法，并确定快速成型机的收缩补偿因素。* 24名学生将被分成四个小组，在每年连续三个夏天进行为期十周的学习。使用材料和制造工程实验室，每个团队将使用最先进的设备进行广泛的研究。*研究设备包括美国国家科学基金会资助的x射线衍射仪，带极图附着物，轧机，金属切割设备，显微硬度机械，密度仪，两台通用机械试验机，熔炉，两台光学显微镜，快速原型和计算机辅助制造实验室，使学生能够从事更高水平的研究。*教师和项目人员将培训学生安全使用大学最先进的材料和制造研究实验室的研究设备。*当地工业实验室已同意邀请学生参观他们的研究设施。*专业工程师的研究实践和程序将成为每周一次学生研讨会的重点。LMU的教师在让本科生参与研究方面拥有丰富的经验，并且有相当数量的学生继续进行研究生学习。师生联合研究经常在国内和国际学术会议上发表，并在学术期刊上发表。

Proposal No.: 9732046 PI: Es-Said University: Loyola Marymount University ABSTRACT The purpose of establishing a REU Site at Loyola Marymount University is to involve in research undergraduate students who might not otherwise have that opportunity. Community college students from Los Angeles will constitute the target group. A further intention is to make every effort to identify and select students from groups which are traditionally underrepresented in the engineering profession. The research component will focus on investigating the effect of varying the cold rolling modes on the crystallographic texture and mechanical properties of aluminum-lithium alloys and rhenium metal, factors affecting warpage profiles of 7050 aluminum alloy, developing a personal computer-based approach to computer-aided design and manufacturing and determining shrink compensation factors for Rapid Prototyping machines. * Twenty-four students will be organized into four teams during three consecutive summers for a ten-week session each year. Using the Materials and Manufacturing Engineering Laboratories, each team will conduct extensive research using state-of-the-art equipment. * The research equipment includes an NSF-funded x-ray diffractometer with a pole figure attachment, a rolling mill, metal cutting equipment, microhardness machinery, density apparatus, two universal mechanical testing machines, furnaces, two light-optical microscopes, rapid prototyping and computer-aided manufacturing laboratories that will enable students to engage in higher level research. * The faculty and project staff will train students in the safe use of the research equipment in the University's state-of-the-art Materials and Manufacturing Research Laboratories. * Local industrial laboratories have agreed to invite students to tour their research facilities. * The ethics of Materials/N4anufacturing Research practices and procedures for professional engineers will be the focus of weekly workshops for studen ts. The faculty at LMU have extensive experience in engaging undergraduate students in research with significant numbers of students continuing to graduate studies. Joint faculty student research often results in presentations for national and international scholarly conferences and publications in scholarly journals.
