EEC-0552832Jan J. BohnThis award will establish a new international Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the Technische Universitat Darmstadt (TUD), Germany with a smaller feeder and preparation REU Site on the same theme at Virginia Tech (VT). The program will concentrate on undergraduate students who have an interest in automotive technologies related to the fields of mechanical engineering, mechatronics, computer science, collaborative engineering, and their intersections. Students who are selected for the program must show a definite potential and aptitude for graduate studies and research careers in science and engineering. The program will include the option for students to conduct research at VT one summer, and then continue this work at the TUD the following summer. At the end of the summer, the students will present their work at a dual site conference with live two-way video between the two REU locations.The objectives of this dual-REU site are: (1) to provide positive student research experiences; and (2) to enhance and broaden the interface of the transatlantic faculty collaborations as the REU students transition their research from VT one summer to the TUD the subsequent summer. It will also: (1) expose U.S. undergraduate engineering students firsthand to the globalization of the engineering profession; (2) show them that they can positively participate in, contribute to, and benefit from this globalization; (3) help them grow as engineers and people by giving them exposure to two engineering cultures; (4) encourage them to pursue graduate studies and possibly research careers; (5) provide U.S. industry and government agencies with future employees that are internationally competitive, and globally engaged; and (6) provide a predictive model that best matches an individual student with the most effective mode of global exposure, for the benefit of future international REU programs.

EEC-0552832 Jan J. Bohn该奖项将在达姆施塔特工业大学（TUD）建立一个新的国际本科生研究经验（REU）网站，德国与弗吉尼亚理工大学（VT）相同主题的一个较小的馈线和准备REU网站。 该计划将专注于对机械工程，机电一体化，计算机科学，协同工程及其交叉领域的汽车技术感兴趣的本科生。 谁被选中参加该计划的学生必须表现出在科学和工程研究生学习和研究生涯的明确的潜力和资质。 该计划将包括学生在VT一个夏天进行研究的选项，然后在TUD继续这项工作下一个夏天。在夏季结束时，学生们将在一个双站点会议上展示他们的工作，两个REU地点之间有双向视频直播。这个双REU站点的目标是：（1）提供积极的学生研究经验;（2）加强和扩大跨大西洋教师合作的界面，因为REU学生将他们的研究从VT一个夏天过渡到TUD随后的夏天。它还将：（1）让美国本科工程专业的学生直接接触到工程专业的全球化;（2）向他们展示他们可以积极参与，为全球化做出贡献并从中受益;（3）通过让他们接触两种工程文化，帮助他们成长为工程师和人类;（4）鼓励他们继续研究生学习，并可能从事研究工作;（5）为美国工业和政府机构提供具有国际竞争力和全球参与的未来员工;以及（6）提供一个预测模型，最好地将个别学生与最有效的全球曝光模式相匹配，以利于未来的国际REU计划。
