This award provides funding for a 5-year REU Site in Bridge Engineering at the University of Delaware, under the direction of Dr. Michael J. Chajes. This 10-week summer program will provide 10 students from other institutions, with research projects focused on bridge engineering based on the growing base of expertise in this area at the University of Delaware. The program recruitment efforts will focus heavily on students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) and on female undergraduates who have up to now not been significantly represented in this traditionally male-dominated field. This REU program will be administered by the Center for Innovative Bridge Engineering (CIBE) which was established at the University of Delaware in 2000 to serve as a primary resource for the world's highway and railroad bridge owners. Each student will work on an individual research project and will be assigned a faculty member as her/his research mentor. In addition, the students will participate in weekly seminars where they will have the opportunity to discuss their work with fellow students, and hear from researchers, practicing bridge engineers and graduate students on topics of mutual interest. The students will also participate in field trips, several bridge tours, and will prepare and submit a brief report for presentation at a research symposium.

该奖项为特拉华州大学桥梁工程的5年REU网站提供资金，由Michael J. Chajes博士指导。 这个为期10周的暑期课程将为来自其他机构的10名学生提供基于特拉华州大学在该领域不断增长的专业知识基础的桥梁工程研究项目。 该计划的招聘工作将主要集中在历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的学生和女本科生谁到目前为止还没有显着代表在这个传统上男性主导的领域。 该REU计划将由创新桥梁工程中心（CIBE）管理，该中心于2000年在特拉华州大学成立，作为世界公路和铁路桥梁业主的主要资源。 每个学生将在一个单独的研究项目工作，并将被分配一名教师作为她/他的研究导师。 此外，学生将参加每周的研讨会，在那里他们将有机会与同学讨论他们的工作，并听取研究人员，实践桥梁工程师和研究生对共同感兴趣的话题。 学生们还将参加实地考察，几个桥梁图尔斯之旅，并将准备和提交一份简短的报告，在研究研讨会上发表。
