EEC-0649032David A. WillisThis award for an REU site at Southern Methodist University (SMU) will engage undergraduate students in experimental research in mechanical engineering. The objectives of the program are to provide students experience in mechanical measurements in a research setting in order to: 1) allow students to experience the discovery process through experimentation; 2) increase student interest in pursuing graduate studies; and 3) reveal the wide scope of mechanical engineering applications. The program will include research on a wide variety of mechanical engineering topics including laser based manufacturing, experimental fluid dynamics, thermal measurements, and solid mechanics. The program will also include seminars on experimental methods and effective presentations, tours of industry, extracurricular activities, and a research day where participants will present the results of their research. The program will place emphasis on recruitment of students from underrepresented groups. Recruitment will target students at SMU and Texas colleges and universities without major engineering research programs (including community colleges). The REU site program intends to encourage students to pursue advanced degrees in engineering and improve retention of students in engineering.

EEC-0649032 David A.Willis该奖项授予南方卫理公会大学(SMU)的REU场地，将鼓励本科生从事机械工程的实验研究。该项目的目标是为学生提供在研究环境中进行机械测量的经验，以便：1)让学生通过实验体验发现过程；2)提高学生攻读研究生的兴趣；以及3)展示机械工程应用的广泛范围。该计划将包括广泛的机械工程主题的研究，包括基于激光的制造、实验流体动力学、热测量和固体力学。该计划还将包括关于实验方法和有效陈述的研讨会、工业之旅、课外活动和研究日，参与者将在那里展示他们的研究结果。该计划将把重点放在从代表性不足的群体中招收学生。招聘对象将是没有重大工程研究项目的SMU和德克萨斯州学院和大学(包括社区学院)的学生。REU Site计划旨在鼓励学生攻读工程学高级学位，并提高工程学学生的留存率。
