Proposal: 0850424PI Name: Michael F. Malone"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."This two year renewal REU site program will provide interdisciplinary research experiences for twelve undergraduates each year. The objectives of the program are to:(1) provide a significant number of research opportunities for women and underrepresented minority students; (2) build a diverse pipeline of graduate students; (3) educate students to recognize the value, significance and broad range of interdisciplinary research being conducted in the College of Engineering; and (4) create stronger relationships for research and educational exchanges between faculty and students at partner institutions. REU students will have the opportunity to work with researchers who are leading experts in their fields. A major outcome of this program will be to further enhance the infrastructure for research and education in the College of Engineering by establishing a self-sufficient REU site program that will continue after this award period has concluded.This program outlines a strong plan for recruitment that will broaden the representation of women and minority students entering the engineering and science pipeline. Students will be recruited from partners Smith College and Mt. Holyoke College, Springfield Technical College and from the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez. Since preparation for graduate education is a major focus of this program, our nation's academic institutions and industry will benefit from an increased number of students, particularly women and minorities, entering the workforce with advanced degrees.

建议：0850424PI姓名：Michael F.Malone“这个奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公法111-5)资助的。”这个为期两年的REU网站续订计划每年将为12名本科生提供跨学科的研究经验。该计划的目标是：(1)为女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生提供大量的研究机会；(2)建立一个多样化的研究生渠道；(3)教育学生认识到工程学院正在进行的跨学科研究的价值、意义和广泛范围；以及(4)为合作机构的教职员工和学生之间的研究和教育交流创造更牢固的关系。REU的学生将有机会与各自领域的顶尖专家研究人员合作。该计划的一个主要成果将是通过建立一个自给自足的REU站点计划来进一步加强工程学院的研究和教育基础设施，该计划将在本授权期结束后继续进行。该计划概述了一个强有力的招生计划，将扩大进入工程和科学领域的女性和少数族裔学生的代表性。学生将从合作伙伴史密斯学院和Mt.霍利奥克学院、斯普林菲尔德技术学院和波多黎各大学马亚圭斯分校。由于研究生教育的准备是这一计划的主要重点，我国的学术机构和行业将受益于越来越多的学生，特别是女性和少数民族，进入劳动力大军拥有高级学位。
