SGER Cooperative Education for Research Careers

该SGER奖授予辛辛那提大学（UC）的工程学院（CoE）和专业实践部（DPP），将建立一个本科研究合作教育计划，该计划以他们的高排名工业合作社计划为蓝本。该计划将展示适应现有工业合作教育模式的好处，作为将研究纳入本科教育的一种方式。（智力价值）。其结果将是谁是了解研究，并已完成了积极的研究经验，6至18个月的时间，在获得学士学位之前，学生的数量增加。这一努力的长期结果将是增加攻读研究生课程的人数，并使选民更加知情。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。 这项工作将有三个目标。这些是：1）增加本科生的兴趣和追求研究事业的数量，2）在实验室发展合作社的立场，做前沿同行评议的研究，提供培训本科生，并进一步发展他们对研究事业的兴趣，和3）评估我们的计划对参与学生的选择的影响。

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.
