This 3 year REU site program entitled Bioengineering at Saint Louis University (BE@SLU) will engage undergraduate students in research experiences in the field of bioengineering. Faculty from the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Pharmacological and Physiological Sciences, Orthopedic Surgery, and Psychology will collaborate in this program. During the first week of the program students will receive training in bioengineering research, including discussions about how to do research, journal club-like activities, research group discussions, equipment training and safety training. In addition to the research experience, students will participate in tours of local bioengineering facilities, discussion of engineering career options, and a research training component. This research training will include both how to read and how to write a scientific paper, how to stay current with research topics in the literature, and how to set goals for their research project. At the end of the program, the students will present their project results at the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and/or the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) annual conferences, in peer-reviewed publications, and online through the BE@SLU website.The PI intends to expose early career students to options in bioengineering research and industry, who might not otherwise have the opportunity so early in their career. Recruitment efforts will be targeted to local high school seniors, who will be entering college, students at schools with limited research programs, and at community colleges. This project will evaluate whether the exposure of these early career students to bioengineering research and industrial career options will impact their future career choices, including choosing a major and post-university career options.

这个为期3年的REU网站程序题为生物工程在圣刘易斯大学（BE@SLU）将从事本科生在生物工程领域的研究经验。 来自生物医学工程，药理学和生理科学，整形外科和心理学系的教师将在这个项目中合作。在该计划的第一周，学生将接受生物工程研究方面的培训，包括讨论如何进行研究，期刊俱乐部式活动，研究小组讨论，设备培训和安全培训。除了研究经验，学生将参加当地生物工程设施的图尔斯之旅，工程职业选择的讨论，以及研究培训部分。这项研究培训将包括如何阅读和如何撰写科学论文，如何与文献中的研究主题保持同步，以及如何为他们的研究项目设定目标。 在计划结束时，学生将在生物医学工程学会（BMES）和/或美国工程教育学会（ASEE）年度会议上展示他们的项目成果，在同行评议的出版物中，并通过BE@SLU网站在线。PI打算让早期职业学生接触生物工程研究和行业的选择，否则他们在职业生涯中可能不会有机会这么早。 招聘工作将针对当地的高中毕业生，他们将进入大学，学生在学校的研究项目有限，并在社区学院。 该项目将评估这些早期职业学生接触生物工程研究和工业职业选择是否会影响他们未来的职业选择，包括选择专业和大学毕业后的职业选择。
