9820375University of California-BerkeleyJames CaseyThe Department of Bioengineering and the Center for Underrepresented Engineering Students (CUES) in the College of Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley request REU (research Experiences for Undergraduates) support for SUPERB (Summer Undergraduate Program of Engineering Research at Berkeley) in the research area of Bioengineering. We are asking for support of nine students per year for five years. The NSF funding will be highly leveraged with campus, College, and industry support. Recruiting will be targeted to underrepresent engineering students. The College of Engineering and the SUPERB program have a strong record of undergraduate participation in research and diversity projects. The proposed research focus in Bioengineering was chosen, as it is has become increasingly popular with undergraduate students and has become strategically important to academia and industry. SUPERB offers outstanding students the opportunity to gain research experience by working with a faculty member and graduate student on a research project in their area of interest. By providing students who have had limited or no opportunity to participate in stimulating research and faculty and graduate student mentoring, SUPERB addresses a critical area that affects their decision to attend graduate school. Each student is carefully matched with a faculty member, who is a member of the Bioengineering program and a graduate student mentor. In addition to the research work, weekly academic support meetings are held for SUPERB students. These meetings provide information on graduate school admissions and fellowships, time management; research methodology; presentations and technical report presentations and other related topics. The program culminates in a daylong forum in which students make oral presentations to their faculty and graduate student mentors, and other members of the engineering community. Written reports are required by each student and compiled for dissemination.

9820375加州大学伯克利分校詹姆斯·凯西加州大学伯克利分校工程学院生物工程系和代表性不足工程学生中心 (CUES) 请求 REU（本科生研究经验）支持生物工程研究领域的 SUPERB（伯克利夏季本科生工程研究计划）。 我们请求在五年内每年为九名学生提供支持。 NSF 的资金将得到校园、学院和行业支持的高度利用。 招聘将针对代表性不足的工程专业学生。 工程学院和 SUPERB 项目在本科生参与研究和多元化项目方面有着良好的记录。 选择生物工程作为拟议的研究重点，是因为它越来越受到本科生的欢迎，并且对学术界和工业界具有战略重要性。 SUPERB 为优秀学生提供了通过与教职员工和研究生合作开展他们感兴趣领域的研究项目来获得研究经验的机会。 通过为那些机会有限或没有机会参与刺激性研究以及教师和研究生指导的学生，SUPERB 解决了影响他们就读研究生的决定的关键领域。 每个学生都会与一名教员精心匹配，该教员是生物工程项目的成员和研究生导师。 除了研究工作外，每周还会为 SUPERB 学生举行学术支持会议。 这些会议提供有关研究生院招生和奖学金、时间管理的信息；研究方法；演示和技术报告演示以及其他相关主题。 该计划以为期一天的论坛结束，学生们向教师和研究生导师以及工程界的其他成员进行口头演讲。 每个学生都需要书面报告并进行汇编以供传播。
