ABSTRACT 0453216This award supports development of an REU Site at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) focusing upon Materials, Mechanics, and Manufacturing (3M) is proposed. The main objective of the 3M REU Site is to enhance student interest in post-graduate study. Another objective of the 3M REU Site is to improve student abilities with respect to those tools that will make them more competitive in a research environment, namely, team building, technical communication, ethics, and overall research acumen. Additional objectives are to promote minority-student exposure to cutting-edge research. One of the targeted populations is drawn from Oglala Lakota College (OLC), a Native-American institution. Three-to-four OLC students participate in this 3M REU Site summer program on an annual basis. The second targeted student population includes SDSM&T undergraduates. Three SDSM&T students participate in the 3M REU 10-week summer program on an annual basis. The third category of targeted student groups is found at regional four-year institutions that do not possess a program to support undergraduate research. Three students from the regional four-year schools participate in the 3M REU summer program on an annual basis.Projects focus on cutting-edge research in materials, mechanics, and manufacturing and are led by senior SDSM&T Faculty Mentors. Research projects involve freeform laser deposition, composite materials, nanomaterials/lithography, and materials selection in product design. This research draws upon existing SDSM&T faculty expertise and research infrastructure, including the SDSM&T Advanced Materials Processing Center and the Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Production. A detailed 3M REU-Site Assessment Plan has been developed and includes assessment components for both the summer and academic portions of the program. The 3M REU Site offers the potential for significant broad impact on the Nation's human resources given the emphasis on the recruitment of Native-American students into the program. In general, many of the 3M REU students tend to be first-generation college students. Thus, the 3M Site serves both minority and other traditionally underrepresented students and encourages them to pursue post-graduate study and a career in research.

该奖项支持南达科他州矿业与技术学院（SDSM T）的REU网站的开发，重点是材料，机械和制造（3 M）。3 M REU网站的主要目的是提高学生对研究生学习的兴趣。3 M REU网站的另一个目标是提高学生在这些工具方面的能力，使他们在研究环境中更具竞争力，即团队建设，技术交流，道德和整体研究敏锐度。其他目标是促进少数民族学生接触尖端研究。 目标人群之一来自美洲土著机构Oglala Lakota学院。每年有三到四名OLC学生参加这个3 M REU网站的暑期项目。第二个目标学生群体包括SDSM T本科生。三名SDSM T学生每年参加3 M REU为期10周的暑期课程。第三类目标学生群体是在没有支持本科生研究计划的地区四年制机构中发现的。来自该地区四年制学校的三名学生每年参加3 M REU暑期项目。项目专注于材料，机械和制造方面的前沿研究，并由SDSM T高级教师导师领导。研究项目涉及自由形式激光沉积，复合材料，纳米材料/光刻，以及产品设计中的材料选择。这项研究借鉴了现有的SDSM T教师的专业知识和研究基础设施，包括SDSM T先进材料加工中心和先进制造和生产中心。一个详细的3 M REU现场评估计划已经制定，包括评估组件的夏季和学术部分的程序。3 M REU网站提供了对国家人力资源的重大广泛影响的潜力，因为它强调了美国本土学生的招聘。一般来说，3 M REU的许多学生往往是第一代大学生。因此，3 M网站为少数民族和其他传统上代表性不足的学生提供服务，并鼓励他们追求研究生学习和研究事业。
