REU: Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Micro Mechatronic Systems

该奖项向密苏里大学罗拉分校提供资金，在维塔尔·S·拉奥博士的指导下，在微型机电系统方面建立了一个REU网站。该项目将涉及12名本科生，他们将被安排在两人小组中，与一名教师顾问和一名研究生一起研究一项涵盖机电一体化、微电子和智能结构等主题的研究项目。为期8周的研究计划将包括研究项目、客座讲座、工业实地考察和动手实验室体验。在暑期计划结束时，每个学生将准备一份书面期末报告和一份关于所做研究项目的口头报告。

This award provides funding to the University of Missouri at Rolla for an REU Site in micro mechatronic systems under the direction Dr. Vittal S. Rao. The project will involve 12 undergraduate students, who will be placed in teams of 2 to work together with a faculty advisor and a graduate students on a research project covering topics that include mechatronics, microelectronics and smart structures. The 8 week research program will consist of research projects, guest lectures, industrial field trips, and hands-on laboratory experience. At the end of the summer program each student will prepare a written final report and an oral presentation on the research project undertaken.
