Proposal No.: 9732073 PI: Miaoulis University: Tufts University ABSTRACT The success of materials processing and manufacturing is strongly influenced by thermal and fluid phenomena. Unfortunately, most processing engineers are trained in only a single discipline and lack sufficient knowledge about thermal/fluid effects in the process. In response, Tufts University established the Thermal Analysis of Materials Processing Laboratory (TAMPL) to conduct interdisciplinary research including thermavfluid sciences, materials science, and manufacturing. This laboratory has proven to be a successful place to educate engineers in interdisciplinary research that is relevant to industry. TAMPL is a unique research setting that involves a chain of mentorships from faculty to graduate students to undergraduates to high school girls. This aim of the proposed project is to expand the research opportunities to undergraduate engineers from colleges and universities where settings such as TAMPL are not available. Also, TAMPL has a strong commitment and record to increasing the number of women in engineering careers. Recruitment will be aimed at non-research institutions (as categorized by the Carnegie Classification) and limited-research institutions in order to provide them with an experience at Tufts, a research university. Based on our experience with Tufts undergraduates, such experience will encourage them to continue with their graduate studies in engineering. Projects include examining heat transfer in thermal processing of electronic materials, fluid flow in turbulent mixing processes, and process control in thermal manufacturing systems. The P.I.'s and a trained team of graduate students will lead the undergraduates through an introduction to the research process, project supervision, internet publishing workshops, and presentation skills. Combining these skills with the interdisciplinary nature and extensive resources of TAMPL will give these students a unique undergraduate experien ce that will encourage them to continue with their engineering education.

建议没有。摘要材料加工和制造的成功与否很大程度上受到热流体现象的影响。不幸的是，大多数加工工程师只接受过单一学科的培训，缺乏关于工艺中的热/流体效应的足够知识。作为回应，塔夫茨大学建立了材料加工热分析实验室（TAMPL），开展包括热流体科学、材料科学和制造在内的跨学科研究。该实验室已被证明是培养工程师从事与工业相关的跨学科研究的成功场所。TAMPL是一个独特的研究环境，涉及从教师到研究生到本科生到高中女生的一系列指导。拟议项目的目的是扩大来自学院和大学的本科工程师的研究机会，这些大学没有TAMPL这样的环境。此外，TAMPL在增加女性从事工程职业方面有着坚定的承诺和记录。招聘将针对非研究机构（按卡内基分类）和有限研究机构，以便为他们提供在塔夫茨研究型大学的经验。根据我们与塔夫茨大学本科生的经验，这样的经验将鼓励他们继续他们的工程研究生学习。项目包括检查电子材料热加工中的传热，湍流混合过程中的流体流动，以及热制造系统中的过程控制。侦探教授和训练有素的研究生团队将带领本科生介绍研究过程、项目监督、网络出版研讨会和演讲技巧。将这些技能与TAMPL的跨学科性质和广泛资源相结合，将为这些学生提供独特的本科体验，这将鼓励他们继续他们的工程教育。
