REU: Introduction to Multiscale Engineering

EEC-0754370塞西莉亚·D·理查兹这个为期三年的REU站点项目每年将让十名本科生接触到新兴的多尺度科学和工程领域的基本概念，并将为他们提供密集的动手研究经验。学生将有机会在一系列导师(教师、博士后和研究生)的指导下在多学科环境中工作，项目范围从材料加工、制造和测试、微流体和MEMS器件、纳米压痕和原子力测量，到纳米宏观结构材料的设计算法介绍、分子动力学、位错动力学、纳米和宏观结构中变形和流动的介观分析。学生将参加每周一次的论坛，在那里他们将对他们的项目进行简短的概述/更新，并发展他们的口头技术交流技能。他们还将参加与NSF赞助的工程教育研究中心(EERC)的联合活动，以接触到另一个新兴的工程研究领域。参与者将在校园范围内张贴海报，传播他们的独立研究项目的成果。

EEC-0754370Cecilia D. RichardsThis three year REU Site program will expose ten undergraduate students each year to basic concepts in the emerging field of multiscale science and engineering and will provide them with intensive hands-on research experience. The students will have an opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment with a range of mentors (faculty, post docs and graduate students) on projects ranging from material processing, fabrication and testing, microfluidic and MEMS devices, nanoindentation and atomic force measurements, to introduction to design algorithms for nano-macro-structured materials, molecular dynamics, dislocation dynamics, mesoscale analyses for deformation and flow in nano and macro structures. Students will participate in a weekly forum where they will give short overviews/updates of their projects and develop their oral technical communication skills. They will also participate in a joint activity with the NSF sponsored Engineering Education Research Center (EERC) to gain exposure to another emerging area of engineering research. The participants will disseminate the results of their independent research projects in a campus wide poster session.
