9820274WardVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University establishes a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site, its theme is adhesives and adhesion science. Eight undergraduate students are recruited every year nationwide for an eleven-week summer research experience, with specific recruitment efforts at historically black colleges and universities in the Southeast. Undergraduate students participate in science and engineering research projects that include testing of adhesive bond durability and of its fracture strength, synthesis and characterization of dendrimers, and characterization of waterborne epoxy resins. In addition, REU participants attend a weekly seminar on oral and written communication skills and several social activities.The interdisciplinary nature of the subject area provides students with a realistic exposure to research on complex problems where several lines of attack involving different scientific and engineering disciplines can bring greater understanding of key issues and more rapid progress toward their solution.

9820274沃德弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学建立了一个本科生研究经验（REU）网站，其主题是粘合剂和粘合科学。 每年在全国范围内招募八名本科生进行为期十一周的夏季研究经验，并在东南部历史悠久的黑人学院和大学进行具体的招聘工作。 本科生参加科学和工程研究项目，包括粘合剂粘合耐久性和断裂强度的测试，树枝状聚合物的合成和表征，以及水性环氧树脂的表征。 此外，REU参与者每周参加一次关于口头和书面沟通技巧的研讨会以及一些社交活动。该学科领域的跨学科性质为学生提供了对复杂问题的现实研究，其中涉及不同科学和工程学科的几条攻击线可以更好地理解关键问题并更快地解决问题。
