EEC-0354102 University of Illinois Urbana-ChampaignThis Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. This award provides support for a three-year REU Site at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Ten students will be recruited from throughout the U.S. for a ten-week summer experience in research related to contemporary mechanics. Students will have an opportunity to do research in broad areas of contemporary mechanics, from problems related to some of the newest materials such as self-healing polymer composites and nanoscale semiconductors to more common materials such as sand and powders. Research projects will be theoretical, computational, and experimental. The program will provide opportunities for student participants to learn how to give technical presentations and will provide opportunities for discussions on ethical issues related to scientific research and public policy. It is anticipated that this program will have a Broader Impact on the nations need to increase the number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents engaged in research-related careers at U.S. universities, government agencies, and in private-sector organizations.

该本科生研究体验（REU）站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作资助。该奖项为伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的一个为期三年的REU站点提供支持。我们将从美国各地招募10名学生，进行为期10周的与当代力学相关的暑期研究。学生将有机会在当代力学的广泛领域进行研究，从与一些最新材料相关的问题，如自修复聚合物复合材料和纳米级半导体，到更常见的材料，如沙子和粉末。研究项目将包括理论、计算和实验。该计划将为学生参与者提供学习如何进行技术演示的机会，并将提供讨论与科学研究和公共政策相关的伦理问题的机会。预计这一项目将对各国增加在美国大学、政府机构和私营组织从事研究相关工作的美国公民和永久居民人数的需求产生更广泛的影响。
