SGER Cooperative Education for Research Careers

该SGER奖授予辛辛那提大学（UC）工程学院（CoE）和专业实践部（DPP），将以其排名靠前的工业合作项目为蓝本，建立一个本科研究合作教育项目。该项目将展示将现有的工业合作教育模式作为一种将研究纳入本科教育的方式的好处。(知识价值)。其结果是，在获得学士学位之前，了解研究并完成了6至18个月的积极研究经历的学生人数将会增加。这一努力的长期结果将是追求研究生研究的个人数量的增加和更了解情况的选民。这将有助于建立一支更强大的研究工程师队伍，并提高美国劳动力的全球竞争力。这项努力将有三个目标。这些目标是：1)增加从事研究工作的本科生的兴趣和数量；2)在实验室开发合作岗位，进行尖端的同行评审研究，为本科生提供培训，进一步培养他们对研究工作的兴趣；3)评估我们的项目对参与学生做出选择的影响。

This SGER award to the College of Engineering (CoE) and the Division of Professional Practice (DPP) at theUniversity of Cincinnati (UC) will to establish an Undergraduate Research Cooperative Education program modeled on their highly ranked industrial co-op program. This program will demonstrate the benefit of adapting the existing industrial co-operative education model as a way to incorporate research into undergraduate education. (intellectual merit). The result will be an increase in the number of students who are knowledgeable about research and have completed an active research experience, 6 to 18 months in duration, prior to receiving their bachelor's degree. The long term result of this effort will be an increase in the number of individuals pursuing graduate research studies and a more informed electorate. This will contribute to building a stronger cadre of research engineers and increase the global competitiveness of the US work force. The effort will have three goals. These are to:1) increase the interest and number of undergraduate students pursuing research careers,2) develop co-op positions in laboratories that do cutting edge peer reviewed research thatprovide training to undergraduates and further develop their interest in research careers, and3) assess the impact of our program on choices made by participating students.
