EEC-0755587Steven L. McCabeThe proposed Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (NEESreu) will provide undergraduate engineering and computer science students with the opportunity to participate in high quality earthquake engineering research within the largest experimental testing network in the nation. Participants will learn from leading seismic research faculty, experience a wealth of local and virtual professional development activities, and build lasting relationships with fellow NEESreu students. NEES research projects represent the highest priority problems and tackle a breath of issues ranging from study of structures such as bridges to port to the performance of structural elements such as wood, concrete, and subsystems. Hybrid testing facilities and the NEES cyberinfrastructure allow research at one site to be tied in real time to experiments at another site, thus permitting testing of a larger specimen than is possible at one site. The REU students will be able to witness test and data streams at other sites in real time, thus broadening the scope of research that each student is exposed to. In addition to these local research experiences, the NEESreu program will expose students to other world-class research activities, professional networks, and facilities through participation in the NEES Annual Meeting and a capstone Young Researcher Symposium. Cyberinfrastructure tools will be used throughout the program to provide network-wide professional development opportunities and forums for peer mentoring. The NEESreu program will recruit students from institutions with minimal research facilities and from underrepresented groups. The program will increase the diversity of the earthquake engineering profession through successful outreach to students from underrepresented groups. These students will benefit from participating in research projects that are unusual in size, scope, and collaborative approach, while receiving the support they need to guide them on an academic path within the STEM field.

EEC-0755587 Steven L. McCabeThe拟议的地震工程模拟研究经验网络本科生计划（NEESreu）将为本科工程和计算机科学专业的学生提供在全国最大的实验测试网络内参与高质量地震工程研究的机会。参与者将从领先的地震研究教师那里学习，体验丰富的本地和虚拟专业发展活动，并与NEESreu学生建立持久的关系。NEES研究项目代表了最高优先级的问题，并解决了从桥梁到港口等结构的研究到木材，混凝土和子系统等结构元素的性能等一系列问题。混合测试设施和NEES网络基础设施允许一个地点的研究在真实的时间内与另一个地点的实验联系起来，从而允许测试比一个地点可能测试的更大的样本。REU的学生将能够在其他地点见证测试和数据流在真实的时间，从而扩大研究的范围，每个学生都接触到。除了这些当地的研究经验，NEESreu计划将通过参加NEES年会和顶峰青年研究员研讨会，让学生接触其他世界一流的研究活动，专业网络和设施。网络基础设施工具将在整个计划中使用，以提供全网络的专业发展机会和同行指导论坛。NEESreu计划将从研究设施最少的机构和代表性不足的群体中招募学生。该计划将增加地震工程专业的多样性，通过成功地推广到学生从代表性不足的群体。这些学生将受益于参与在规模，范围和协作方法方面不同寻常的研究项目，同时获得他们所需的支持，以指导他们在STEM领域的学术道路上。
