REU Site: Multidisciplinary Research in Aerospace Science and Engineering

EEC-0648996 Philippe H.Geubel该奖项授予伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的REU场地，为期三年，每年资助10名本科生参加为期10周的暑期项目，重点是航空航天科学与工程(ASE)的多学科研究。REU网站的目标是：1)为本科生提供密集、教育和激励的研究机会；2)更好地为学生培养研究生工作和未来职业所需的研究和沟通技能。REU的主要组成部分将是多学科的实践研究，处于航空航天领域的前沿。其他教育活动(研讨会、非正式会议、学生期末报告和论文)将加强和支持学生的研究。这些活动旨在教授研究和沟通技能，并在学生做出关于研究生院和进入劳动力市场的选择时更好地告知他们。这个项目将招收具有工程、计算机科学和物理背景的本科生。为了接触到服务不足和代表性不足的人群，招聘工作将针对中西部的四年制学院、设有工程预科课程的大学和少数族裔服务机构。

EEC-0648996Philippe H. GeubelleThis award for an REU Site at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign supports 10 undergraduate students each year for three years in a 10-week summer program that focuses on multidisciplinary research in aerospace science and engineering (ASE). The objectives of the REU Site are: 1) to provide intensive, educational, and stimulating research opportunities for undergraduates; and 2) to better prepare students with research and communication skills necessary for graduate work and their future careers. The main component of the REU will be hands-on research that is multidisciplinary and in the forefront of the aerospace field.Other educational activities (seminars, informal meetings, final student presentations and papers) will enhance and support the student research. These activities will be designed to teach research and communication skill sets, and to better inform students as they make choices concerning graduate school and entering the workforce. Undergraduate students with backgrounds in engineering, computer science, and physics will be recruited for this program. In order to reach underserved and underrepresented populations, recruitment efforts will be targeted to four-year colleges in the Midwest, universities with pre-engineering programs, and minority serving institutions.
