0244170 MantellThis award funds a five-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. The program will provide research opportunities in mechanical engineering for thirteen undergraduate students for ten weeks during the summer each year. The program is open to undergraduate engineering or science majors who have completed their sophomore or junior year. The recruiting efforts will focus on attracting students from population groups underrepresented in the United States in research fields in engineering and science. The program will include: (1) research projects under the direct supervision of a faculty member, (2) access to state-of-the-art laboratory and computing facilities, (3) a weekly seminar series with special topics in mechanical engineering research and engineering communication, (4) a three part seminar series on ethical practices in engineering, and (5) interdisciplinary collaboration with other engineering departments at the university. In addition, the program will provide opportunities for two teachers to participate in a research experience for five weeks during the summer. The teacher participants will receive graduate credit for their participation. The undergraduate participants will present their results in a university-wide event and have the opportunity to attend the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. It is anticipated that the teacher participants will update their technical knowledge and integrate the experience into their curriculum and thus improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education in their school district.

0244170 MantellThis奖资金为本科生（REU）网站在明尼苏达州双城大学为期五年的研究经验。该计划将在每年夏季为13名本科生提供为期10周的机械工程研究机会。该计划是开放给本科工程或科学专业谁已经完成了他们的大二或大三。招聘工作将侧重于吸引来自美国工程和科学研究领域代表性不足的人口群体的学生。该方案将包括：（1）在一名教员的直接监督下进行研究项目，（2）使用最先进的实验室和计算设施，（3）每周一次的机械工程研究和工程交流专题系列研讨会，（4）关于工程道德实践的三部分系列研讨会，以及（5）与大学其他工程部门的跨学科合作。此外，该计划将提供两名教师在夏季参加为期五周的研究经验的机会。教师参与者将因其参与而获得研究生学分。本科生参与者将在全校范围内的活动中展示他们的成果，并有机会参加全国本科生研究会议。预计教师参与者将更新他们的技术知识，并将经验融入他们的课程，从而改善他们学区的科学，技术，工程和数学教育。
