This award provides funding to the University of Maine, Eric N. Landis, Principal Investigator, for the support of a 3-year REU Site in Advanced Engineered Wood Composites. This nine-week program will provide an interdisicpinary research experience for9 undergraduate science and engineering students with the focal point being the development of the next generation of engineered wood composites for construction applications. The program will combine hands-on laboratory work with training in fundamental science and engineering principles. Faculty mentors will work closely with students. Weekly seminars wil include discussions of research techniques, ethics, graduate schools, as well as presentations made by the students. Group field trips will include trips to major field test sites, government agencies, industries, and social events. Follow-through after the students leave the site will consist of advisors working with their students on a technical paper based on the research, as well as advisors assisting students in applying to graduate school.

该奖项为缅因大学首席研究员Eric N. Landis提供资金，用于支持一个为期3年的先进工程木材复合材料REU站点。这个为期九周的项目将为9名理工科本科生提供跨学科的研究经验，重点是开发用于建筑应用的下一代工程木复合材料。该计划将结合动手实验室工作与基础科学和工程原理的培训。教师导师将与学生密切合作。每周的研讨会将包括对研究技术、伦理、研究生院的讨论，以及学生的演讲。团体实地考察将包括主要实地测试地点、政府机构、行业和社会活动的考察。学生离开网站后的后续工作将包括顾问与学生一起撰写基于研究的技术论文，以及顾问协助学生申请研究生院。
