REU Site In Environmental Fluids: Science, Assessment, and Treatment

环境流体中的REU站点：科学，评估和处理机构：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校提案编号：eec -0552895首席研究员：Angela Bielefeldt该REU环境流体：科学，评估和处理站点奖每年支持9名本科生，为期三年，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。该计划的目标是：让本科生研究环境工程的广泛主题，强调多媒体方法（水，空气，土壤）和环境系统的长期驱动因素，如气候变化和水文水。除了实验设计、数据收集、解释、项目成本和调度等项目具体经验外，还为参与者提供水处理中试工厂运行的现场特征的重点小组经验。环境工程、伦理、可持续发展和政策等社会问题的小组讨论将由有组织的系列研讨会促进。通过更积极地招募代表性不足的少数民族来增加参与者的多样性。这个环境工程REU项目的目标是增加参与者的多样性，在之前成功的有针对性的招聘工作的基础上，79%的女性和21%的学生来自代表性不足的少数民族。该项目将与工程学院强大的多元文化工程项目合作，该项目隶属于路易斯斯托克斯科罗拉多州amp。此外，美国国家科学基金会研究生教育联盟和教授计划（AGEP）的存在将为少数族裔REU学生在多元化和支持性的学术社区中攻读博士学位创造一条管道。预计在这一REU经验中，技术和人的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的模式。

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.
