This award provides support for a three-year REU Site at Rowan University. Eight students will be recruited from throughout the U.S. for an eight-week summer experience in research related to pollution prevention and sustainability. Both of these research areas are intimately related to gaining a better understanding of the natural environment. A well-qualified, multidisciplinary team of faculty will serve as mentors to the REU student participants. REU activities will include not only research but also field trips; seminars; social activities to build a sense of community amongst the student participants and research mentors; and technical writing instruction. The program will serve to encourage undergraduates to pursue advanced degrees in engineering and thus impact the nations need to increase the number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents engaged in research-related careers. It is also anticipated that this REU Site will have a Broader Impact on the nations need to have broader participation in the research enterprise of citizens and permanent residents from demographic groups traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering.

该奖项为罗文大学一个为期三年的REU项目提供支持。将从美国各地招募八名学生，进行为期八周的暑期体验，研究与污染预防和可持续性有关的问题。这两个研究领域都与更好地了解自然环境密切相关。一个高素质的多学科教师团队将作为REU学生参与者的导师。REU活动不仅包括研究，还包括实地考察；研讨会;社会活动，在学生参与者和研究导师之间建立社区意识；以及技术写作指导。该项目将鼓励本科生攻读工程学的高级学位，从而满足国家增加从事研究相关职业的美国公民和永久居民人数的需求。此外，预计该REU站点将对国家需要更广泛地参与公民和永久居民的研究事业产生更广泛的影响，这些公民和永久居民来自传统上在科学和工程领域代表性不足的人口群体。
