Space-Related Research within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Utah State University

该奖项为犹他州立大学（USU）提供资金，用于在Robert E. Spall博士的指导下进行为期三年的空间相关研究REU现场计划。每年夏天，8名本科生将参加为期10周的密集研究体验。该项目的主要组成部分要求学生主要在USU空间动力学实验室完成一个与空间相关的研究项目（或一个更大的，正在进行的项目的组成部分），在指导老师和研究生导师的指导下。学生还将参加每周的研讨会，主题包括航空航天研究、技术写作和口头报告，以及研究生院。该计划将以出席AIAA/USU年度小卫星会议而告终，学生们将有机会展示他们的工作成果。

This award provides funding to Utah State University (USU), for a three-year REU Site Program in Space-Related Research, under the direction of Dr. Robert E. Spall. During each summer, 8 undergraduate students will participate in an intensive 10-week research experience. The primary compnent of the project requires students to complete a space-related research project (or component of a larger, ongoing project) primarily at the USU Space Dynamics Laboratory, under the direction of a faculty advisor and a graduate student mentor. Students will also participate in weekly seminars with topics to include aerospace research, technical writing and oral presentations, and graduate school. The program will culminate with attendance at the AIAA/USU Annual Small Satellite Conference at which the students will have an opportunity to present the results of their work.
