EEC-0552702John W. WeidnerThis award provides support for a three-year REU Site at the University of South Carolina at Columbia (USC). The REU site builds upon prior experience over the last eight years of successful REU sites at USC. This program focuses on two core research areas related to Green Chemistry: (1) catalysis and (2) hydrogen technology (i.e. production, storage and use of hydrogen for the hydrogen economy). The site will involve 10 chemical engineering undergraduate students, over a ten-week summer program. They will join eight other REU students supported on a materials research REU grant for a cross- disciplinary research experience. The objectives of the program are: (1) encourage students to continue their studies and seek research careers in chemical engineering; (2) help them to realize the employment and research opportunities available in chemical engineering aspects of sustainable technologies; (3) enhance professional development and communication skills; and (4) provide a rewarding experience by exposing them to outside classroom faculty-student interaction. The program provides not only stimulating research opportunities, but it also offers a variety of social events and group activities designed to foster interaction among the REU students, undergraduates, graduate students, industrial representatives and participating faculty. The proposed group activities include a research communication studio, tours of industrial sites, participant-led laboratory tours, workshops on graduate studies, an ethics seminar in science and engineering, a welcoming reception and a final research symposium, and the various social activities.

该合同为南卡罗莱纳大学哥伦比亚分校（USC）的一个为期三年的REU站点提供支持。REU网站建立在过去八年在南加州大学成功的REU网站的经验之上。该计划侧重于与绿色化学相关的两个核心研究领域：(1)催化和(2)氢技术（即氢气经济的生产，储存和使用）。该项目将涉及10名化学工程本科学生，为期10周的暑期项目。他们将与其他八名获得材料研究REU资助的REU学生一起进行跨学科研究。该计划的目标是：(1)鼓励学生继续学习并寻求化学工程方面的研究事业；(2)帮助他们实现可持续技术化学工程方面的就业和研究机会；(3)提高专业发展和沟通能力；(4)通过让他们在课堂外进行师生互动，为他们提供有益的体验。该计划不仅提供刺激的研究机会，而且还提供各种社会活动和小组活动，旨在促进REU学生，本科生，研究生，行业代表和参与教师之间的互动。建议的团体活动包括研究交流工作室、工业场地之旅、参与者带领的实验室之旅、研究生学习工作坊、科学和工程伦理研讨会、欢迎招待会和最后的研究研讨会，以及各种社会活动。
