REU Site: Chemical Engineering Research Experience for Undergraduates

该奖项为匹兹堡大学的首席研究员Mohammed Ataai提供资金，以支持为期3年的REU化学工程网站。 15名本科生将参加为期10周的暑期课程，该课程将在教师导师的直接监督下向他们介绍研究活动和动手实验室实验。 经验将通过研讨会和参观工业实验室以及课外社会互动来丰富。 预计该计划将帮助学生认识到需要有足够的深度和广度的综合教育;对本科课程的其余部分做出更明智的决定;并评估研究生教育和职业选择。

This award provides funding to the University of Pittsburgh, Mohammed Ataai, Principal Investigator for the support of a 3-year REU Site in Chemical Engineering. Fifteen undergraduate students will participate in a 10-week summer program which will introduce them to research activities and hands-on laboratory experimentation under the direct supervision of a faculty mentor. The experience will be enriched by seminars and visits to industrial laboratories, as well as extracurricular social interacitons. It is anticipated that the program will help the students appreciate the need for a comprehensive education with sufficient depth and breadth; make more informed decisions about the remainder of their undergraduate courses; and evaluate graduate education and career options.
