EEC-0649033Surya R. KalidindiThis award for an REU site, Drexel Research Experience in Advanced Materials (DREAM) has the primary goal of engaging undergraduate students in cutting-edge materials related research in the areas of Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, and Design and Processing of Advanced Materials. The objectives of the DREAM program are: 1) to use research as a vehicle to ignite interests of the students in science and technology relatively early in their educational program; 2) to encourage participants to explore and seek science and engineering careers in materials related fields; 3) to encourage the participants to seek graduate education and research careers in emerging technology areas; and 4) to provide the participants a taste of the excitement associated with research and discovery and help build a sense of achievement and self-esteem. Additionally, the REU students will participate in weekly lunch-time seminars, weekly demos of cutting-edge research equipment, technical communications and research workshops, and field trips to nearby industrial and national research laboratories. Participants will produce a poster and written paper at the conclusion of the program based on their research work. The DREAM program will motivate and influence students to pursue graduate programs and exciting careers in emerging fields of science and technology. The participants of the program will be selected from a broad range of backgrounds. Particular attention will be paid to recruit students from two and four-year community colleges, as well as women and other underrepresented groups, and schools that offer two and four-year undergraduate programs in engineering, the physical and biological sciences, and mathematics, but do not have the advanced infrastructure that is available at Drexel University.

EEC-0649033 Surya R.KalidIndiREU网站授予Drexel先进材料研究经验奖(DREAM)，主要目标是让本科生参与纳米技术、生物技术以及先进材料设计和加工领域的尖端材料相关研究。梦想计划的目标是：1)将研究作为一种媒介，在教育计划的相对早期激发学生对科学和技术的兴趣；2)鼓励参与者在材料相关领域探索和寻求科学和工程职业；3)鼓励参与者在新兴技术领域寻求研究生教育和研究职业；以及4)为参与者提供与研究和发现相关的兴奋体验，并帮助建立成就感和自尊。此外，REU的学生将参加每周的午餐时间研讨会、每周的尖端研究设备演示、技术交流和研究研讨会，以及到附近的工业和国家研究实验室的实地考察。参与者将在项目结束时根据他们的研究工作制作一张海报和一份书面论文。梦想计划将激励和影响学生在新兴的科学和技术领域追求研究生课程和令人兴奋的职业。该计划的参与者将从广泛的背景中挑选出来。将特别注意招收来自两年制和四年制社区大学的学生，以及女性和其他代表性不足的群体，以及那些提供两年和四年制工程、物理和生物科学以及数学本科课程，但没有德雷克塞尔大学提供的先进基础设施的学校。
