REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates- Marine Science and Engineering in China

9912246 Shen该奖项支持中国青岛和大连的REU研究中心的第一年。 该计划将提供15名本科生，重点是代表性不足的群体，有机会参加为期11周的强化课程，以获得研究和国际经验。 学生将通过参与物理和环境海洋学，沿海流体动力学和近海工程的大型正在进行的研究项目，了解进行研究的过程。 学生将与教师导师相匹配，并将在更大的研究计划的背景下进行独立的研究项目。 将强调研究成果的传播;所有学生都将参加研究小组会议，在中国研究生和本科生的参与下，在本科生研究座谈会上编写和提交工作报告。中国的主办机构包括青岛海洋大学和大连理工大学。在海外研究环境中与同学和同事合作的经验将有助于创建一个国际参与和竞争力的科学和技术劳动力，并促进全球科学方法和解决环境问题。

9912246ShenThis award supports the first year of a REU Site in Qingdao and in Dalian, China. The program will provide fifteen undergraduate students, with an emphasis on underrepresented groups, the opportunity to participate in an 11-week intensive program to gain research and international experience. The students will learn about the process of conducting research through participation in large ongoing research projects in physical and environmental oceanography, coastal hydrodynamics, and offshore engineering. Students will be matched with faculty mentors and will undertake self-contained research projects within the context of the larger research program. Dissemination of the research results will be emphasized; all students will participate in research group meetings, prepare and present reports on their work at undergraduate research symposia, with the participation of Chinese graduate and undergraduate students. Host institutions in China include the Ocean University of Qingdao and Dalian University of Technology. Experience working with fellow students and colleagues in a research environment overseas will contribute to creating an internationally engaged and competitive science and technology workforce, and to fostering a global approach to science and solving environmental problems.
