EEC-0647918Eric H. ChudlerThis award for an REU site at the University of Washington Engineered Biomaterials (UWEB) will expose undergraduate students to cutting-edge research at the biology and engineering interface in a team setting that stresses the value of interdisciplinary approaches to engineering problems such as biomaterial development. Each undergraduate will be a member of a collaborative team with a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow mentor and a faculty member as they undertake a research project. The team will focus on a UWEB project that is as a good example of interdisciplinary engineering research and one that has ties to industry research interests. To enhance the research experience the students will be required to:1)participate in a weekly communications course and journal club that deals with both oral presentation and writing skills, 2) write a journal style report of their research for publication; and 3) deliver an oral and poster presentation of their summer research in a mini-symposium session. Emphasis will be placed on recruiting students from underrepresented groups using established recruiting contacts at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and predominately minority institutions. Participants will gain valuable knowledge in an area of research that has significant and growing global impact on the quality of life (e.g. heart valves, hip joints, pacemakers, dental implants, drainage shunts, intraocular lenses, and heart-assist devices.

EEC-0647918 Eric H. ChudlerThis奖的REU网站在华盛顿工程生物材料（UWEB）的大学将暴露本科生在生物学和工程接口的前沿研究在一个团队设置，强调跨学科的方法，如生物材料开发的工程问题的价值。 每个本科生将与一名研究生或博士后导师和一名教职员工合作团队的成员，因为他们承担一个研究项目。 该团队将专注于UWEB项目，该项目是跨学科工程研究的一个很好的例子，与行业研究兴趣有关。 为了提高研究经验，学生将被要求：1）参加每周的通信课程和期刊俱乐部，处理口头陈述和写作技巧，2）写他们的研究出版期刊风格的报告;和3）提供口头和海报介绍他们的夏季研究在一个小型研讨会会议。 重点将放在从代表性不足的群体中招募学生，使用历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和少数民族占主导地位的机构建立的招聘联系。参与者将获得对生活质量具有重大且日益增长的全球影响的研究领域的宝贵知识（例如心脏瓣膜，髋关节，起搏器，牙科植入物，引流分流器，人工晶状体和心脏辅助装置）。
