REU/RET Site: Structure-Property Correlation Across Micro-to-NANO Length Scales

佐治亚理工学院有一个本科生研究经验（REU）网站，研究长度尺度上的结构-性质相关性。该计划强调团队研究项目，解决金属变形和断裂的表征和建模，纳米晶合金的机械性能，光学活性纳米材料，以及功能复合材料的加工和表征。每年都会招募15名学生进行为期8周的暑期研究体验。该项目每年还包括6名高中教师的参与。教师是研究团队的一部分，并开发课程材料，如研究主题的示范项目和基于计算机的材料模块。教师的参与得到了美国国家科学基金会数学与物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室的支持。

Georgia Tech operates a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site on structure-property correlations across length scales. The program emphasizes team research in projects addressing characterization and modeling of deformation and fracture in metals, mechanical properties of nanocrystalline alloys, optically active nanomaterials, and processing and characterization of functional composites. Fifteen students are recruited every year for an eight-week summer research experience. The program also includes the participation of six high school teachers every year. The teachers are part of the research teams and develop curricular materials such as demonstration projects on the research topics and computer-based materials modules. The teachers' participation is supported by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
