REU Site: REU in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering

该奖项授予堪萨斯大学研究中心的REU站点，为期三年，每年支持10名本科生。该计划的主要目标是：1)让本科生参与化学工程界面和界面现象的前沿研究项目；2)为学生提供接触先进材料、能源、生物医学、环境修复、催化等受化学工程影响的广泛行业的机会；3)为来自美国各地的本科生提供一个独特的机会，让他们在学术和社会上进行互动，旨在为即将毕业的化学工程师建立一个更加综合的网络。除了研究经验外，学生还将参加学术研讨会、社交聚会、参观当地工业和专业发展讲习班。最后，学生将参加一个伦理系列研讨会，以培养道德思维技能，以补充他们的研究技能。招募工作将侧重于少数族裔和女性参与者，以及来自没有重大研究项目的机构的学生。参与者将在全国范围内从化学工程、环境工程和自然科学领域招募。

EEC-0649257Russell D. OstermannThis award for an REU Site at the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. supports 10 undergraduate students each year for three years. The primary objectives of the program are to: 1) engage undergraduate students in stimulating, cutting-edge research projects focused on interfaces and interfacial phenomena in chemical engineering; 2) provide students with exposure to the breadth of industries influenced by chemical engineering such as advanced materials, energy, biomedical, environmental remediation, catalysis, etc.; and 3) provide a unique opportunity for a diverse population of undergraduates from across the U.S. to interact academically and socially, aimed at building a more integrated network of graduating chemical engineers. In addition to the research experience, the students will participate in academic seminars, social gatherings, trips to local industries, and professional development workshops. Finally, the students will participate in an ethics seminar series to develop ethical thinking skills to complement their research skills.Recruitment efforts will focus on minority and female participants as well as students from institutions without significant research programs. Participants will be recruited nationally from chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and the natural sciences.
