REU SITE: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Materials Science and Engineering

伦斯勒理工学院在其材料科学与工程系设有本科生研究体验（REU）站点。该计划的目标是通过动手研究和基础研究与现实世界工程问题之间的联系，使本科生接触材料科学与工程。每年招收10名学生进行为期10周的暑期研究体验。研究项目的范围从高温合金的焊缝断裂到纳米材料的合成，再到电子材料的性能，其共同的主题是结构-性能关系。一些项目涉及工业参与，在这些情况下，学生将花部分时间在工业实验室。

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute operates a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site in its Materials Science and Engineering Department. The goal of the program is to expose undergraduate students to materials science and engineering through hands-on research and to the connections between fundamental research and real-world engineering problems. Ten students are recruited every year for a ten-week summer research experience. Research projects offered range from weld-line fracture of superalloys to synthesis of nanomaterials, to the properties of electronic materials, with a common theme on structure-property relationships. Some of the projects involve industrial participation and in those cases students will spend part of the time at the industrial laboratory.
