9912319KolarFaculty from the School of Engineering and Environmental Science (CEES) at the University of Oklahoma has established an 8-week summer REU Site centered around the disciplines of geo-environmnetal engineering and science. The objective is to immerse 12 students per year in advanced research topics by providing them with meaningful projects that span all major steps of scientific inquiry: formulate questions, develop hypothesis, conduct literature reviews, set-up an experimental matrix, analyze and synthesize results, and prepare final reports (oral and written). Activities extend beyond the laboratory or field site, where REU students are members of a faculty/graduate student research tema, to include orientation seminars, hazardous waste and safety training, Friday luncheous devoted to research issues, pratice presenations and ethics, field trips to research facilities, and social functions. The vision of this REU Site is to creat an engaging atmosphere to motivate amd prepare undergraduate students to pursue advanced degrees in the critical areas of geo-environmental engineering and science. Such scientists and engineers are needed in consulting and industry in order to be good steweards of the natural and man-made environments, and they are needed in research labs and academia to further our understanding of geo-environmental systems.

9912319 Kolar来自工程与环境科学学院（CEES）在俄克拉荷马州大学的教师已经建立了一个为期8周的夏季REU网站围绕地球物理工程和科学的学科为中心。 目标是每年让12名学生沉浸在先进的研究课题中，为他们提供跨越科学探究所有主要步骤的有意义的项目：制定问题，发展假设，进行文献综述，建立实验矩阵，分析和综合结果，并准备最终报告（口头和书面）。 活动超出了实验室或现场，其中REU学生是教师/研究生研究特马的成员，包括定向研讨会，危险废物和安全培训，周五午餐专门研究问题，实践演示文稿和道德，实地考察研究设施和社会功能。 这个REU网站的愿景是创造一个引人入胜的氛围，以激励和准备本科生追求在地球环境工程和科学的关键领域的高级学位。 咨询和工业需要这样的科学家和工程师，以便成为自然和人造环境的良好管家，研究实验室和学术界也需要他们，以进一步了解地质环境系统。
