EEC-0552864Sylvia W. ThomasThis award for an REU Site at the University of South Florida (USF) supports 12 undergraduate engineering students each year for three years in a 10-week summer program. The primary focus of the research projects is on engineering of novel materials for use in next generation devices utilized for example in space, health, and electronic areas. The objective is to encourage talented undergraduate students, in particular women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and community college students, to pursue graduate studies in the interdisciplinary STEM fields. The program provides not only stimulating research opportunities, but it also offers a seminar series, field trips, enrichment activities, workshops and journal club sessions on ethical and societal research impacts, graduate education spotlights, and career strategy highlights. The program will culminate with a Research Summer Fest, where REU students, including students and teachers from other NSF USF REU and RET (Research Experiences for Teachers) funded programs and research fellowship programs, e.g. McNair, Sloan and GEM, etc., will present during a poster session and conduct oral presentations. This program capitalizes upon the University of South Florida's College of Engineering internal REU program impacting over 150 students over 4 years. This REU program intends to increase the number of US advanced degree holders, especially for underrepresented minorities, females, and an underutilized pool of talent from community colleges.

EEC-0552864 Sylvia W.Thomas该奖项授予南佛罗里达大学(USF)的REU场地，每年资助12名本科工程专业学生，为期三年，为期10周的暑期项目。研究项目的主要重点是设计用于下一代设备的新材料，例如在空间、健康和电子领域。其目的是鼓励有才华的本科生，特别是妇女、少数民族、残疾人和社区大学生，在跨学科的STEM领域攻读研究生课程。该项目不仅提供了诱人的研究机会，还提供了一系列研讨会、实地考察、丰富活动、研讨会和期刊俱乐部会议，内容涉及伦理和社会研究影响、研究生教育焦点和职业战略亮点。该计划将以研究夏令节结束，届时REU的学生，包括来自其他NSF USF REU和RET(教师研究体验)资助的项目和研究奖学金计划的学生和教师，将在海报会议上展示并进行口头演示。这项计划利用了南佛罗里达大学工程学院的内部REU计划，在4年内影响了150多名学生。这一REU计划旨在增加美国高级学位持有者的数量，特别是针对代表性不足的少数族裔、女性和社区大学未得到充分利用的人才库。
