EEC-0648761Tim DallasThe award provides support for a three-year REU Site at Texas Tech University (TTU). The REU Site program focuses on Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) which are a broad class of microfabricated devices that are making important inroads into many technology areas. MEMS are integral parts of projection display systems, automotive airbag systems, ink-jet printers, and biomedical and chemical sensors. MEMS are a bridge to the nano-world and frequently include nano-enabled components and nanoscale features. MEMS are also a fertile area that incorporates state-of-the-art technologies and recognizes, creative, outside the box thinking. The objectives of this program are to provide undergraduate students with the knowledge and training needed to make a contribution to microdevice and materials research at TTU and Angelo State University (ASU), to give them technical background needed to compete for industrial internship positions, and to increase the number of US students who will continue on to graduate school and find successful careers in important technology areas.The program will strengthen bridges to four-year colleges in Texas with limited research capabilities by promoting the benefits of undergraduate research and it will increase the number of students going to graduate school in engineering and the sciences, which is important, if the US is to remain competitive globally. Strengthening these ties will allow the principal investigator to continue to recruit a diverse group of students by effectively communicating the excitement of the field and offering interesting and relevant research projects.

EEC-0648761Tim Dallas 该奖项为德克萨斯理工大学 (TTU) 的为期三年的 REU 站点提供支持。 REU 站点计划重点关注微机电系统 (MEMS)，这是一类广泛的微制造设备，正在向许多技术领域取得重要进展。 MEMS 是投影显示系统、汽车安全气囊系统、喷墨打印机以及生物医学和化学传感器的组成部分。 MEMS 是通向纳米世界的桥梁，通常包含纳米组件和纳米级特征。 MEMS 也是一个融合了最先进技术并认可创造性、跳出框框思维的沃土。该计划的目标是为本科生提供为 TTU 和安杰洛州立大学 (ASU) 的微器件和材料研究做出贡献所需的知识和培训，为他们提供竞争工业实习职位所需的技术背景，并增加继续攻读研究生并在重要技术领域找到成功职业生涯的美国学生的数量。该计划将通过宣传以下优势，加强与德克萨斯州研究能力有限的四年制大学的联系： 本科生研究，并将增加进入工程和科学研究生院的学生数量，如果美国要保持全球竞争力，这一点很重要。加强这些联系将使首席研究员能够通过有效地传达该领域的兴奋点并提供有趣且相关的研究项目来继续招募多元化的学生群体。
