EEC-0754874Evelyn L. HuThis three year REU Site program at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) entitled" Internships in Nanosystems Science, Engineering, and Technology" (INSET), will create education and research opportunities for community college students, promoting their future academic and career success in science and engineering through multi-tiered mentorship. The objectives of the INSET program aim to: (1) encourage community college students' pursuit of research careers through the development of professional scientific skills in investigation, communication and collaboration; (2) promote the successful transfer of a diverse cohort of community college students to 4-year institutions, and encourage their pursuit of graduate education; (3) nurture the professional development of research mentors through campus-wide training workshops and networking; and (4) enhance the capacity of research universities to support community college transfer students.The INSET program will be hosted by the California NanoSystems Institute where research explores the richness of opportunities in forming new materials and complex systems by integrating nanoscale building blocks from both biological and electronic materials. Participants in this program will gain hands-on experience in the development of cutting-edge technologies that fall outside the traditional boundaries of science and engineering disciplines. Additionally, the INSET program will collaborate with the Center for Nanotechnology and Society, which will engage students in discussions and research projects on the societal impacts of new technologies. This collaboration will foster students' and researchers' abilities to enable broadly multi-disciplinary research, engaging not only the natural sciences and engineering, but also social sciences and mathematics.Recruitment efforts for INSET will build on established relationships with California community colleges that have large underrepresented and disadvantaged populations. This program will enhance the capacity of other institutions to support community college transfer students by raising the profile of high-achieving community college students, promoting successful university/community college partnership models, and disseminating INSET evaluation findings through publications and professional conferences.

EEC-0754874 Evelyn L.Huu加州大学圣巴巴拉分校(UCSB)这一名为“纳米系统科学、工程和技术实习”的三年期REU现场项目(插图)将为社区学院的学生创造教育和研究机会，通过多层次的指导促进他们未来在科学和工程领域的学术和职业成功。INSET计划的目标是：(1)通过发展调查、交流和协作方面的专业科学技能，鼓励社区大学生追求研究事业；(2)促进社区大学生成功地转到四年制院校，并鼓励他们追求研究生教育；(3)通过校园培训讲习班和网络，培养研究导师的专业发展；以及(4)增强研究型大学支持社区学院转校生的能力。INSET计划将由加州纳米系统研究所主办，研究人员通过整合生物和电子材料的纳米级构建块来探索形成新材料和复杂系统的丰富机会。该项目的参与者将获得超出科学和工程学科传统界限的尖端技术开发的实践经验。此外，INSET计划将与纳米技术和社会中心合作，该中心将让学生参与关于新技术的社会影响的讨论和研究项目。这一合作将培养学生和研究人员的能力，使他们能够进行广泛的多学科研究，不仅涉及自然科学和工程学，还涉及社会科学和数学。INSET的再资助努力将建立在与加州社区学院建立的关系基础上，加州社区学院拥有大量代表不足和弱势群体。该计划将通过提高优秀社区学院学生的形象，推广成功的大学/社区学院合作模式，以及通过出版物和专业会议传播嵌入的评估结果，来增强其他机构支持社区学院转学学生的能力。
