REU Site: Rapid Prototyping and Beyond; 3D Structures from Micro to Nano.

EEC-0648845Subha K.Kumpaty该奖项授予密尔沃基工程学院的REU场地。该计划将是一个为期10周的综合计划，将使本科生参与先进快速成型技术前沿的跨学科研究项目。学生还将参加跨学科小组会议和研讨会，参观设施，包括参观研究生院，PowerPoint演示文稿，海报，以及在有强烈指导的环境中撰写研究论文。该项目将通过为学生提供专业成长、知识、经验、创造力和信心的机会，为独立、全面发展的工程师的发展做出重大贡献。该计划将以学生做会议报告而告终。REU SITE计划可以成为参与者追求科学和工程研究生教育的主要动机。这些活动将帮助参与者培养对终身学习的热情，对先进科学和工程方面的继续教育的兴趣，并将鼓励创业精神和涉及将创造的有用的、有时可获得专利的设备的全球影响。招生工作将针对来自美国各地的第一代和传统上代表性不足的学生，特别是来自二线/非博士授予机构的学生。

EEC-0648845Subha K. KumpatyThe award is for an REU Site at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The program will be a 10-week comprehensive program that will engage undergraduate students in interdisciplinary research projects at the cutting-edge of advanced rapid prototyping technologies. Students will also be involved in interdisciplinary group sessions and seminars, facility tours including a visit to a graduate school, PowerPoint presentations, posters, and writing of research papers in a strongly mentored environment. This program will contribute significantly to the development of independent, well-rounded engineers by providing opportunities for students' professional growth, knowledge, experience, creativity and confidence. The program will culminate with students making conference presentations. The REU Site program can be a primary motivator for participants to pursue graduate education in science and engineering. The activities will help participants develop a passion for lifelong learning, an interest in continued education in advanced science and engineering, and will encourage entrepreneurship and global impact involving the useful, sometimes patentable devices that will be created. Recruitment efforts will be targeted to first-generation and traditionally underrepresented students from across the U.S., especially from second tier/non Ph.D. granting institutions.
