Abstract for REU Site In Environmental Fluids: Science, Assessment, and TreatmentInstitution: University of Colorado at BoulderProposal Number: EEC-0552895Principal Investigator: Angela Bielefeldt This REU award for a Site on Environmental Fluids: Science, Assessment and Treatment supports 9 undergraduates each year for three years in a 10-week summer research experience at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The objectives of this program are: Engage undergraduate students in research on a broad range of topics in environmental engineering emphasizing multimedia approaches (water, air, soil) and long-term drivers of environmental systems such as climate variability and hydrology water. Provide participants with a focused group experience on either filed site characterization on water treatment pilot plant operation, in addition to the project specific experiences of experimental design, data collection, interpretation, project cost and scheduling.Group discussion of societal issues in environmental engineering, ethics, sustainability and policy will be fostered by an organized seminar series featuring distinguished lecturers. Increase participant diversity by more aggressive recruitment of underrepresented minorities.The goal of this Environmental Engineering REU program is to increase participant diversity, building on previous successful targeted recruiting efforts that resulted in 79% women and 21% students from underrepresented minorities.The program will collaborate with the strong Multicultural Engineering Program at the College of Engineering, which is affiliated with the Louis Stokes Colorado-AMP. In addition, the presence of an NSF Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate Program (AGEP) will create a pipeline for minority REU students to pursue Ph.D. degrees in a diverse and supportive academic community. It is anticipated that explicit linking of technical and human aspects during this REU experience will provide a new model for future researchers in Environmental Engineering.

REU 环境流体站点摘要：科学、评估和治疗机构：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校提案编号：EEC-0552895 首席研究员：Angela Bielefeldt REU 环境流体站点奖项：科学、评估和治疗每年支持 9 名本科生在科罗拉多大学博尔德分校进行为期 10 周的夏季研究体验，为期三年。 该计划的目标是：让本科生参与环境工程领域广泛主题的研究，强调多媒体方法（水、空气、土壤）和环境系统的长期驱动因素，如气候变化和水文学。 除了实验设计、数据收集、解释、项目成本和进度安排的项目具体经验之外，还为参与者提供关于水处理试点工厂运营的任一现场特征的集中小组经验。将通过由杰出讲师参加的有组织的研讨会系列来促进对环境工程、伦理、可持续发展和政策等社会问题的小组讨论。通过更积极地招募代表性不足的少数族裔来增加参与者的多样性。环境工程 REU 项目的目标是增加参与者的多样性，其基础是之前成功的定向招募工作，其中 79% 为女性，21% 的学生来自代表性不足的少数族裔。该项目将与隶属于路易斯斯托克斯科罗拉多-AMP 的工程学院强大的多元文化工程项目合作。 此外，NSF 研究生教育联盟和教授计划 (AGEP) 的存在将为少数族裔 REU 学生攻读博士学位创造一条渠道。在多元化和支持性的学术社区获得学位。 预计 REU 经验中技术和人文方面的明确联系将为未来的环境工程研究人员提供一个新模型。
