项目摘要

EEC-0647387Eric BeckmanThe award provides support for a three-year REU Site at the University of Pittsburgh. The REU site will engage 14 undergraduate students each year for three years in a 12-week summer program. The undergraduates will form design teams to tackle research projects that focus on problems in the design of sustainable neighborhoods, namely green construction, the sustainable use of water, distributed energy systems, etc. The overall goals of the program are to: 1) teach undergraduate engineers to incorporate sustainability as a constraint in designs; 2) teach engineering undergraduates to work in design teams that progress from initial reliance on faculty and graduate student advisors to reliance on team members over the course of the program; and 3) teach undergraduate engineers how their research impacts people and the planet. To enhance the hands-on research experience, a variety of activities have been incorporated. These include: team building and leadership workshops; modules on sustainable design and effective communications; a series of sessions on ethics; and a number of social activities.Recruitment efforts will be targeted at four populations: 1) engineering and science students attending primarily undergraduate institutions in the region; 2) ten minority serving institutions with which the Assistant Dean for Diversity has negotiated articulation agreements; 3) the University of Texas-El Paso and the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez; and 4) students who participate in Engineers without Borders and Engineers for a Sustainable World.

该合同为匹兹堡大学一个为期三年的REU站点提供支持。REU网站每年将招收14名本科生，为期三年，为期12周的暑期课程。本科生将组成设计团队，解决可持续社区设计问题的研究项目，即绿色建筑、水的可持续利用、分布式能源系统等。该计划的总体目标是：1)教授本科工程师将可持续性作为设计的约束；2)教工科本科生在设计团队中工作，在整个项目过程中，从最初依赖教师和研究生顾问发展到依赖团队成员；3)教授本科工程师他们的研究如何影响人类和地球。为了提高实践研究的经验，各种各样的活动已经纳入。这些活动包括：团队建设和领导力研讨会；可持续设计和有效沟通模块；一系列关于道德的会议；还有一些社交活动。招聘工作将针对四个人群：1)主要在该地区本科院校就读的工程和理科学生；2)与负责多元化事务的助理院长谈判达成衔接协议的10所少数族裔服务机构；3)德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校和波多黎各大学马亚圭斯分校；4)参加无国界工程师和可持续世界工程师项目的学生。
