REU Site: Systems-level Design Experiences in Nanodevices & Nanomaterials Technology

欧洲经济共同体-0552791卡罗琳·瓦拉斯该奖项为弗吉尼亚大学(UVA)一个为期三年的REU站点提供支持。REU网站建立在过去三年成功的UVA REU中心经验的基础上。这个项目的重点是通过研究向学生传授设计技能。该计划还试图在为期十周的暑期计划中向10名本科生介绍这种设计经验，以吸引他们参与研究、教育和社会影响研究。REU的特色包括将设计经验作为每个子项目的核心组成部分，使用包括同行和导师的研究团队模式，使用结构化的REU培训计划来鼓励学生对研究生学习的兴趣，并在这些设计体验项目中纳入社会和教育观点，以便本科生可以从更广泛的影响中获得动力，并通过在当前课程中为实验课程开发教材来学习。

EEC-0552791 Carolyn VallasThis award provides support for a three-year REU Site at the University of Virginia (UVA). The REU site builds upon prior experience over the last three years on a successful REU center at UVA. This program focuses on teaching design skills to students through research. The program also seeks to introduce such design experiences to 10 undergraduate students, over a ten-week summer program that elicits their participation in research, educational, and social implications studies. Special features of this REU include the presence of design experience as a central component of each sub-project, the use of a research team model that includes peers and mentors, the use of a structured REU training program to encourage interest in students for graduate studies, and the inclusion of social and educational perspectives within these design experience projects, so that the undergraduate students may be motivated by the broader implications, and learn by developing educational materials for lab courses within current curricula.
